Rastacouere (6042) - Montreal, Quebec, CANADA - OCT 1, 2007
Clear light golden ale covered by a large sparkler’s white head. Lightly flowery nose consisting of very soft malts that appear quite oily and vegetal in mouth. Rather dull palate, kinda stale and overly focusing on one-dimensional breadiness.
