blankboy (2687), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Oct 2, 2008 <i>Bottle (500ml).</i> First off I must say, $5.99 a bottle is way too much for this! Now, onto the rating: Pours a murky bubbly dark copper with an average size diminishing off-white head. Aroma of blackberries, a bit tart and sweet, somewhat fake smelling but not bad -- doesn’t really have any beer qualities to it though. Flavour of tart blackberries with a sourness (not in a good way) or ’metal’-ness to it and an aftertaste that leaves a little to be desired -- not very good at all. Light to average bodied. This doesn’t resemble a beer and it isn’t any good -- drainpour it is. Eructoblaster (1275), Gatineau, Quebec, Canada Sep 16, 2008 Bottle - 500ml. Nice hazy caramel body with good carbonation and a thick off-white foamy head. Fair hoppy aroma with fruity, biscuity, and malty hints. Unfortunately, taste is horribly dominated by harsh sourness and agressive carbonation. Ends with a very short and thin sour finish. A failure. Boutip (1855), Gatineau, Quebec, Canada Sep 8, 2008 Bottle: Poured a deep amber/red color ale with an above average head with light retention and no lacing. Aroma consists of weird fake syrupy blackberry juice with an unrefined grainy malt base. Taste is also somewhat messy with a grossly sweet blackberry syrup mix with a rather suspect malt base. Another weird and suspect experiment from a brewery who doesn’t impress me. Pyrozoid (213), Gatineau, Quebec, Canada Jul 25, 2008 (Dégusté avec french tickler) Une biere ambré-rouille avec un tres tres mince collet non collant. Odeur d’épinette, de sucre, fruit loops, mures, bonbon. Gout tres fort de bonbon, mures, bluet. Une biere tres speciale et fruité. french tickler (523), Aylmer, Quebec, Canada Jul 25, 2008 Shared with Pyrozoid
