Originally rated February 2006. Comes in a stubby bottle. This premium lager pours a golden colour with an amber touch. Carbonation is quite present, big white head with medium retention and good all around lacing. The nose is very nice, with floral notes and a beautiful perfume. The mouthfeel is the weakest part, being a bit thin and watery, but then, the taste bring you back right into it. Grainy malt, floral hops, slight fruit and a dry and mild bitter finish. Not much of an aftertaste. Recommended for a good alternative to macro lagers, and for a good intro to micro-breweries.

Draught. Pours a pale amber-copper colour with a good white head. Aromas of hops with a decent fruity note. Taste is lighter than expected with the fruit (citrus) flavours and spices nicely playing with the hops. A very nice brew.

Tasted in a bottle at the brewery. A genuine premium lager, i.e. what it should taste like : hoppy, no finish, floral and fruity bouquet.

341 bottle from LCBO. Pours a hazy yellow gold with big billowing white head. Light sweet, grainy malt nose with maybe a little fruitiness. Taste is even sweeter and grainy. Ridiculously fizzy carbonation beyond the point of over-carbonation. Relatively weak effort

[on tap at Chez Lucien in Ottawa] Weak base malt aroma with some caramel and fresh fruit cocktail notes. Clear dark straw under a thin, white patch and ring. Sweet, lemony caramel malt flavour with low bitterness. Faint nut and blueberry notes and a hint of diacetyl butter. Light to medium body, tangy sweet finish.
