Commercial Description:
Équinoxe du Printemps (French for "spring equinox") is the quintessential marriage of two great traditions: beer brewing in Scotland, and maple syrup production in Quebec. At the first draught, the mouth is overcome by woody, malty flavours, sustained by a discrete touch of sweetness. The aftertaste brings about the flavours of maple, which are sufficiently present to be appreciated, but never overwhelming the typical flavours of a Scotch Ale.

Equinoxe du printemps is brewed only once a year in January. It is aged for two months in order to attain a perfect balance in taste. Then, it is sold starting March 21st, until stocks last.

Bottle courtesy of bu11zeye. Reddish orange pour. Tons of sweet notes. Fresh and new. Very sweet, lots of maple. For a scotch it’s very different. The taste is thick and sweet.

Nose is strong of caramel, candi sugar, and maple syrup. Poured brown with ruby highlights with a tiny tan head. Taste is maple across the boards, very boozy, caramel apple, and brandy.
