Taster at Festival Bieres et Saveurs 08. The color is a hazy honey with a thin beige head.The aroma is of hops and fruits. The taste also being of hops with yeast and fruits mostly citrus gives it a nice bitter note. A verynice and pleasant Belgium ale.

UPDATED: OCT 17, 2009 An amber ale with almost no head. A maple/molasses aroma, very pleasant. In mouth, a very roasted nutty ale, bit of Curacao, and warming alcohol. Rich and smooth. A well done Belgian ale. Festival Bières et Saveurs, August 29 2008. 7-3-8-4-14

In short: A hugely drinkable well-rounded Belgian blonde ale
How: Tap at brewpub, first batch (only batch so far)
The look: Cloudy blonde body topped by a medium off-white head
In long: Nose if fruity and herbal/grassy. This yeasty Belgian ale offers a lot of cereals, fruity flavours, a perfect hop balance and a full fluffy body. Cushiony maltiness with a cake/muffin feeling. Fruity flavours of citrus, dried oranges. Dry grassy finish with a tasty bitterness. Hugely drinkable, feels like a 5%. Doesn’t break new grounds but this is excellence in simplicity. If this new beer is any indications of the beers to come from this new Montreal brewpub this place will become more popular than a greasy all-you-can-eat buffet restaurant in Houston Texas.

Tap at the brewpub. One of the best beers of the trip. Very cloudy pour, thick, nitro-like head. Delicious fresh rising dough aroma, yeast and apple. Flavor is like wet, unbaked dough, a bit thin but still rich and full bodied. Very Belgian, quite mild but still distinct. Lovely. This beer put me back in the zone real quick.

Verre de 12 oz, d’un fût au broue-pub. Arômes sucrés d’abricots. Robe orangée, belle effervescence et belle mousse. Très fruitée (abricots, fruits rouges) et légèrement épicée. Un malt légèrement sucré est accompagné par une levure bien présente. Finale légèrement amère.
