Verre de 12 oz, à la brasserie de Jonquière. Arômes acidulés de canneberges et de blé. Robe orangée et trouble, légère mousse. Assez mince en bouche, les canneberges sont assez discrètes au goût mais donnent une acidité agréable à la bière. On note également le blé et de légères touches citronnées. Une bonne bière, un peu surprenante pour une bière de Noel, et qui aurait peut-être plus sa place sur une terrasse que près d un feu de foyer.

Any first impressions?
-A veil of foam stands atop the cloudy orange-beige.
-Aroma’s pretty weak, barely offering any minty, herbal spiciness, and doughy yeast.
-Yeast is much more talkative once tasted, as the cranberries soar to offer plenty of juicy fruitiness and tartness.
-The smooth yet lively effervescence and svelte maltiness make up your usual Belgian witbier mouthfeel.

What if you dig deeper?
-Citrusy tartness creates even more interest in the finish.
-Feeble banana esters are found under the cranberry fruitiness in both aroma and flavor profile.
-This was a fun witbier experiment, but it didn’t shine nearly as brightly as the base witbier, called Muse.

On tap at the brewpub.
