Richmond 20th. Pours a pale yellow, slight head. Light pils malt aroma, slight fruitiness. Flavor is spicy yeast followed by crackery malt. Very pleasant.

Sampled at the Richmond Gathering 20th! Very suprised with this. Quite refreshing and sessionable. Sweet and notes of vanilla and lemon. A little sweet. Really a quite nice surprise.

Bottle @ RG 20. Straw with fizzy white head and decent lacing. Smells of citrus, clover, honey, and dry grain. Nice sweet and dry flavor. Light, bit of a cloying finish.

From the bottle poured a clear year brew with a slight head. Nicely balanced aromas and flavors of malt, and hops jwith notes of bubble gum.

Bottle shared by Kinz at the 20th Richmond Gathering. Thanks! Pours a clear yellow color with a large foamy white head. Good head retention. Aroma of pale bready malts, spicy, herbal hops and a bit of a buttery note. The taste is stone fruits, spicy hops, pale malts. Medium bodied, refreshing. Nice beer.

Je l’ai bien aimé, pour une blonde. Un peu fruité (poire?), sucre dominant mais pas trop intense, un peu mince en bouche, chaleur de l’alcool présente, long et plaisant arrière goût.

To put it simply, this is a rare kind of extra-sweet yet easy-drinking beer. So easy to drink, that your head might start spinning before the tasting is over, because you forgot there’s 7% alcohol content in this cereal nectar. Flacatoune is an old-fashioned but appealing, fizzy and cheesy refreshment. It smells as barnyards smell, but with an added touch of yellow fruits and... cough drop? Alcohol in disguise. Super round. Tastes almost as good as fresh bread. Worth the detour.

Dorée, semi-limpide avec un impressionnant col de mousse très tenace. Nez légèrement épicé avec un peu de céréales et de levures belges. Une excellente blonde d’inspiration belge qui pourrait être confondue avec une bonne blanche.

Une de mes préférées de la brasserie Charlevoix (elle même étant également une de mes microbrasseries préférées de la province). Servie dans un verre tulipe. Les arômes se rapprochent un peu d’une triple (comme la triple Dominus Vobiscum d’ailleurs), mais s’y trouve une petite amertume fort intéressante. À boire et à reboire!

Bottle (500 ml). Clear golden with a huge creamy white head and nice lacing. Aroma of belgian yeast, spices, malt, fruits and citrus. Taste of malt, belgian yeast, spices and slight bitter finish. Medium body. Not so complex but well balanced and easily drinkable. Very good Belgian Ale!
