La Malauze du Naufrageur est une blonde titrant 4.8% d’alcool. Cette bière a une robe dorée, une belle mousse blanche. Plutôt banal au visuel, en réalité. Parfum de miel, de houblon. En bouche, le houblon et le malt lui confèrent une belle attaque quelque peu amère. Désinvolte, accessible, cette bière est un beau petit produit qui plaira à tous. Un peu cher pour ce que c’est, nonobstant. Parmi mes étiquettes préférées, celles du Naufrageur. Cheers!

500ml bottle. Clear golden yellow with a nice white head. Grainy malt with light grass hops, some caramel but not much else. Light body, moderate carbonation, some sweetness, becomes dryer and slightly bitter, eventually dries out the palate and leaves a grainy taste.

A blonde ale with a thin white head. In aroma, sweet fruity malt with mineral notes. In mouth, nice crisp malt with German hops, mineral notes, classic pils. Tasted Sept 8 2012.

Clear and golden with low clinging head. The wheat is obvious in flavour and aroma, making a very light and refreshing beer. Aroma is Belgian estery, light malt and fruit. Round mixture of sweet and bitter in the flavour - opens sweet, then the bitterness hits the top of the tongue, finishing with a bit of complexity. I quite like it, except the I find the bitterness builds up in my tongue as I drink. Not a huge fan of the blonde beer style, but this is quite a nice take on it.

Our third blonde ale of the tour comes from Quebec. My parents brought me this bottle last month. This poured a deeper gold, slightly hazy, with the longest lasting head of them all, and the only beer to leave any lacing. Aroma is strikingly honey-soaked, particularly after having two fruitier, citric blonde ales. Floral honey (clover) centers the flavour profile, with softer fruit nuances and light caramel malt. I really liked this brew; for whatever reason it just seemed more complex, richer. This isa great little brewery, and I’m glad it’s only 20 minutes from my parents house!

Bottle [500ml] shared with HogTownHarry & garthicus -- c/o HogTownHarry. Pours a hazy copper-gold with an average size semi-lasting frothy off-white head. Aroma of grain, light grassy hops, honey and herbal notes. Flavour of grassy hops, honey, caramel malt, herbs, yeast and grain. Average bodied. An odd take on the Golden Ale, just O.K.

Thanks to HogTownHarry. Appearance: quite light orange, small snow white head. Aroma: grassy & malty, a little yeast, pepper. Flavour: lots of caramel and malt, grass, grass and more grass, tangy, malty, bitter, slightly floral.

500ml bottle shared with blankboy and garthicus. Hazy light amber with a decent off-white head. Aroma - sweet, floral and wort-y. Taste follows, even more floral bitterness. Average body with a fairly long floral-bitter finish. Not yer average golden ale.

Bière blonde, comme on aime les blondes, coiffée d’une belle mousse. Au nez, des effluves de malt floral (?) en émanent. Goût pétillant au début, qui est toutefois semblable au arômes. Un blonde typique, qui satisfait, sans grandes attentes, tout en étant agréable. (144-090112)
