3.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20 bedainedebiere (493) - Terrebonne, Quebec, CANADA - SEP 13, 2009
4,79$ for 500ml bottle, served in an Orval glass. Fizzy-like effervescence with a sweet and spicy aroma . Interesting citrus-grapefruit-bitter rendition of the style, with a Orval-like brett twist. Notes of spices, resinous and a very discreet yeasty character. Sweetness is very well hidden, with no taste of alchool, although 6,7 ABV. Dry finish with a tongue-tingling effect. All in all a very pleasant beer with an audacious and authentic personnality. I liked that beer and I will buy some more!

My Bottom Line:
This rural Belgian-style Ale develops clever yeasty phenols and spicy oranges that team up with subtle caramel and earthy hops, creating a seamless whole which leads to levelled leafy hop bitterness.
Further Personal Perceptions:
-A healthy head of foam recedes to a ring atop the luminous amber (before the yeast pour, of course).
-The Frontenac malt character is apparent in this one, increasing this beer’s rurality. Once La Chouape start malting their own barley (which should be soon), I think they will yield even more interesting products.
-The mouthfeel is smooth, with prickly carbonation, and feels as professional as most Chouape beers.
-This is very easy drinking despite the 6.7% alcohol.
