Strong rye, wet hay, light cotrus notes to the aroma. Opaque dark copper-brown with low, fine-bubbled, off-white head that diminishes to partial cover and thick ring. Pine, rye, orange flavours blend together nicely in the lead up to a fairly assertive bitterness. Smooth texture, lively carbonation fondles the tongue. On tap at the brewpub.

Dark amber color with a nice beige head. The aroma is of citrus.You can taste the sweet caramel in it, but also taste some hops. It lives you with a good bitter feel in your mouth. Very good.

Draught (6 oz. sample) at Dieu du Ciel! Ruby-amber with a small head. Strong hop aroma, quite earthy, with caramel malt and a hint of rye to round things out. Flavour follows the aroma almost exactly, with the addition of a hint of chocolate malt. Mouthfeel is soft and moreish. A very good beer, and a great first beer to have upon my arrival for a weekend in Montreal.

Bu sur place en fut (10 oz). Couleur cuivrée foncée, mince collet avec dentèle. Arome d’houblon mi-sucré pas trop fort. Bon goût d’houblon et de seigle amère, un peu sûrette.

Cask at Spuyten. Pours with a focky foamy white head above a still looking flat amber and ruby highlights. Aroma is bursting with tropical fruits, some cat piss, grapefruit and some pine- simcoe and amarillo character all the way- rye is more subdued and covered by hops in the aroma. The Rye in the flavor comes alive in the middle of the palate with a nice earthy doughy crackery spiciness- still a good amount of simcoe and amarillo, but not as intense as the nose- some nice smooth medium and dark stewed malts with good fruity profile- apple, pear, and raisin. Nice tacky bitternesss in the end. Great APA, but it was very dark- maybe a hoppy amber?

Pours a reddish brown with small head. Aroma holds malt, rye is evident, bready style. Flavor is great- malt sticks, but balances well with hops and citrus- incredible. Smooth palate, wondrous APA.

Cask at Spuyten Duyvil. Citrusy hop aroma over some rich spicy malts. A combination of lemon and grapefruit along with a bit of pine and tropical fruit. Some nice spicy wheat/rye character in the back. A hint of peppery spiciness. Flavour is good and fresh with lots of wheat and lightly caramelly malts. Nice combination of spiciness, citrusy/tropical hops and a lingering citrus flavour. Good balance.

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.

Robe brune aux reflets cuivrés surmontée d’une mousse beige fugace.Arômes de seigle, de café et de houblon. Saveurs de café, de seigle et de fruits rouges. Corpulente, dense même. Sirupeuse... L’aigre, l’acide, le sucré et l’amer sont bien balancés.
