[pint at the brewpub, 5%] Earthy rye aroma, with some caramel malt and citrus hops. Pours a cloudy, reddish amber color. Mildly sweet malt flavors balanced with an aggressive APA hop profile. Rye adds an additional complexity to this already tasty brew.

Uneven but bitter as hell. Pretty sexy beer. Tastes like sour dough bread - it puts an awesome taste in there. Tracing is awesome and the rye does wonders for it. This was among the better tasters I had at the brewpub in Montreal last weekend. On tap.

Un verre à Montréal. Un liquide à la robe ambrée. Une belle mousse qui tient la route. Une dentelle qui tapisse la paroi. Un nez qui présente les affabilités de houblons fruités à travers des malts sucrés et épicés. Des parfums gênés mais ô combien invitants. Des saveurs qui présentent les meilleures facettes des malts caramélisés et des céréales de seigle. Un goût confortable, rapidement abordé par des houblons très goûteux. Un mélange approprié entre les agrumes et les fleurs. Une bouche qui m’a semblé peu ronde avec une effervescence présente et une texture crémeuse. Une finale dans laquelle l’enthousiasme des houblons n’a d’égal que leur grande fraîcheur. Cette bière m’a beaucoup fait penser à la Ruthless Rye de Sierra Nevada. C’est une belle affaire, n’est-ce pas?

Enjoyed on cask at the brewpub. Incredible cask gorgeous head and body from a cask, super lacy. Very smooth mouthfeel. Great drinkability, a concoction of orange and grapefruit.

On tap at the brewery after igloo fest 2012. Smooth with some notes of rye.. Creamy and medium bodied.

Originally rated October 2005. Sampled at the brewpub, in company of S8n on September 17, 2005. Pours a deep amber-red colour with a medium creamy head. Very nice creamy lacing. Mild grain malt and alcohol nose. Syrupy and sticky mouthfeel. The rye comes out in the aftertaste with mild bitterness throughout. Notes of caramel in the finish. The start is kind of fruity. Nice grainy ale with lots of flavours.

Cask at Dieu du Ciel, Montreal. Amber hazy, small to average and mostly lasting head. Moderate, malty and sweetish aroma, fruitiness, some citrus and piney hoppyness, faint caramel. Body is medium, malty and lightly sweetish flavor, some fruitiness, some piney hoppyness, faint caramel. Finish is average, malty and dryish, faint fruitiness, bit sharp/soapy piney hoppyness. Nice one, but in the finish hoppyness is bit soapy -aroma/flavor not in balance.

On tap at DdC when Andy, Max, Pearl and I took a roadtrip to Montreal and then Vermont. Pours a ruby brown with a thin white to beige head. Malt, very light citrus and a good caramel note. Toast, light sweetness, a touch of bitterness, toast and malt. Smooth with very light rye notes. Toast and malty sweetness and spicy rye.
