Draft at the Lyon location. An unclear yellow beer with a lazing white head. The aroma has notes of coriander and wheat as well as lighter notes of lemons. The flavor is sweet with notes of wheat and coriander as well as lighter notes of dusty hops, leady to a dry hay-like finish. The body is light. Boring.

Rue St. Denis, Montreal location... Draft... Milky, pear-colored ale with a mid-sized, frothy, white head. Decent retention. The nose is of very light lime? Grain? Straw?... mostly nondescript. Fruity, perfectly-balanced flavor. Tart and tangy... some kind of citrus blend. Light-bodied and dry with fizzy carbonation. Finishes watery, but fairly refreshing. Odd, but very decent.
