Nicely colored, clean and simple malty lager. Not bad at all, but also not much going on. Slightly bready.

Pint at the brewpub. Red amber. Light lasting head. Light flavour. Bready caramel.

On tap at L’Amère à Boire, pours a clear amber with a medium beige head. Aroma is pretty bland, with bready malts and light herbal notes. Flavour is a bit fruity, with dry bready malts. Slightly more exciting than the Vollbier, with the added fruitiness. Decent, but still bland.

(Draught) Sampled at the brewpub. Very similar in aroma and taste to the Montreal Hells which I sampled first though this beer was more rousse in flavour and had more malt notes. Same floral hops and a milder bitterness at the finish. Very good.

On draught 6/3/2005 at the brewpub with tiggmtl, Muzzlehatch and Bret Kuhnhenn. Copper-yellow with some darker amber tinges to it. Off-white head recedes to a ring, slight lacing. Honey and caramel in the nose with some baked brown bread. Good hops apparency in both the nose and flavor. Nice crisp, floral saaz hops, lightly bitter. Notes of peaches, earthiness from the yeast and plenty of hops flavor in the middle and end. Low carbonation, big bubbles though. Medium body, well-balanced and quite enjoyable. This style has grown on me quite a bit recently.

Cloudy, pale amber color. Fruity aroma (peach ? apricot ?) and candy (barley-sugar). Flavor of malt, fruits and candy. Sweet finish that leaves a chalky feeling in the mouth. Light body, soft carbonation. Special and enjoyable.

Tap at the Brewpub: Copper pour with a creamy off-white head. Honey, spicy caramel bready notes, and a peppery noble hop character is evident. Creamy dense carbonation with a nice malt presence. Mildly sweet with honey toast and an herbal suggestion in the middle. A touch bready with a spicy noble hop finish drying it out. Another nice session beer from L’Amere.

Dégustée en fût sur place. De couleur ambrée-orangée et voilée. Nez de grains de malt sucrés, de caramel doux, léger de miel avec des notes rôties, léger de houblon floral aux notes hebreuses ainsi que des petites notes fruitées (agrumes, pêche et poire). Moyennement ronde en bouche et moyennement pétillante avec une texture légèrement huileuse. Faibles notes fruitées (agrumes, petites traces de poires) lors de l’entrée en bouche suivi assez rapidement d’un goût de grains de malt avec un goût de caramel doux et des notes de miel puis en finale l’on retrouve une légère amertume de houblon floral avec quelques notes épicées (poivre doux). Post-goût moyen et un peu sec, légèrement amer de houblon floral avec des traces fruitées (agrumes). (été 2006)

red amber pour, good head, nice malty flavor, and aroma, similar to the vollbier.
