New Beer Distributors, NY 330ml ($3.50): Pours a light amber with a whitish head. Aroma is honey, yeast, and maybe some flowers. Taste is rather sweet and malty, without too much else going on. Hops are barely there. Body is close to medium. Beer is meh.

Clear golden with a slight white head. Aroma is mildly fruity, vague apple notes. Flavor is clean and crisp with a tart sweet finish almost like a less sweet apple cider. Fairly decent, probably wouldn’t go for it again though.

Bouteille (merci,Stephane!): Golden with a greenish sheen, small and stable foamy layer, moderate sweetish-grainy nose with some citrussy hops in the background; moderate sweet-bitter flavour, light to medium bodied; slightly lingering malty and hoppy finish. Quite good by french standards.......

2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Poured a slightly hazy yellow color with a smaller white head. Aroma is a bit skunky with some lemons and grass. Taste is a little bit like cardboard with some skunky flavors. Lots of lemon in the finish with other light fruit flavors that make it a little sweet. Some creamy yeasty notes too. Overall ok, but not a great biere de garde.

On tap at Bier International, Harlem USA. Gold body with white head. Nose malty and skunky. Taste also malty, and spicy, but not much to it. Kind of dissapointing.

light tangy. On tap @ the gate. Nothing so exciting but easy to drink. I liked it
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Originally rated March 2008. Seasonal offering at the LCBO, with a best before date that is written: 14/12/2008 on back label. Pours a clear golden colour with a white foamy head, that disappears at a medium pace. What is clearly noticeable, is that this brew has hardly any carbonation, and after a few minutes, no bubbles are to be found. Malt is dominant in the aroma, with a little grass and mild honey. The mouthfeel is pretty flat, but has a little stickiness in the mouth. Grain malt is most of the flavour, with the mild grass and honey coming out in the aftertaste. The ring of lacing stays all along. Not a bad beer, with a light difference to other beers that look the same, but nothing too outstanding either.
