On tap at Saint-Bock. The color is a nice hazy golden honeyn with a thin beige head. The taste is of biter hops with a sweet grapefruit taste and aroma. There is malt but not that much. The finish of this beer is just wnough bitterness to make just a great double I.P.A. but what else can you expect from Charlevoix but great beer.

In short: Nice IIPA with a tasty fruity resinous bitterness and light caramelized malts.
How: Tap at Saint-Bockl, sipping in HogTownHarry glass when he wasn’t looking.
The look: Clear copper body with a small but long-lasting off-white head
In long: Served very cold it was surprisingly odourless and flavourless but a 10 minutes wait made quite a difference. The malt profile is a bit low-profile, I could have done with a more flavourful thicker caramel presence. Nice fresh tasty hops though. Flavours of orange peels, grapefruit and coniferous resin. Yummy resinous bitterness of medium intensity. I still have a hard time to believe that this really is a 11% beer. If this truly is the case then the alcohol is as well hidden as when I visit my cousin Louis. Cheap bastard.

Draught. At St-Bock. Slightly hazy amber pour with an average creamy white head. Initially I was browned off about the lack of aroma, but it was too cold - as it warmed, people could smell it across the table - dry, acidic herbal/resin hops. Taste - oh, that’s nice - strong dry pine/resin hops, grapefruit, enough light malt to give it a framework, but mostly hops - and alcohol, but seemed more like 7-9% at most. The body was boderline watery, but the dry astringency and long, moderately bitter finish were fine - frankly, it was super drinkable, and good, but not mind-blowing. Hell, 3.8 is a good score!

Bu au St-Bock (Montréal), en fut (12 oz), le 14/2/08. Ambrée miel peu claire,peu de collet. Arome d’houblon sucré d’agrume doux, un peu amère. Goût d’houblon caramel pamplemouse, amerturme un peu corsé mais plaisant, peu de sensation alcoolisé.
