Brewed by Les Bières de la Nouvelle-France
Style: Specialty Grain
Saint-Alexis-des-Monts, Canada

Serve in Lager glass, Tumbler

341ml bottle pours amber in color with a moderate white head that settles rapidly to leave no lacing on the glass. Aroma is light caramel and not much else. Taste is light caramel malt with an undesirable hop bitterness and just something which I cannot place is off on this one. Nothing really special here, just not my cup of tea.

Belle bière acajou, parfaitement limpide, coiffée d’un fin col blanc laissant une légère dentelle au verre. Des arômes extrêmement légers de caramel et de pomme verte. Légèrement acide. Mince, légère, pauvre... Laisse en bouche beaucoup d’acidité... Comment une bièrre aussi "jolie" peut-elle être aussi peu goûteuse et sans parfum???

Bouteille 341 ml. 5%. Couleur ambrée rousse, mousse fugasse. Arôme très faible. Goût avec un peu de caramel, faible, aqueuse. Finale sans vrai amertume.

Bottle: Poured a clear light brown color ale with a small foamy head with light retention and lacing. Aroma of light cereal notes with unrefined grain. Taste is not the greatest with unrefined grain and light cereal notes with residual sugar notes. Body is light with good carbonation. Only to be consumed by those allergic to gluten.

341 ml bottle from Broue Ha Ha, served cool in a tulip glass.

App.: Clear deep copper with a small tan head. Aroma: Some decent malt aromas – light brown sugar and caramel, a touch of vague fruitiness; alcohol, a bit of apple or pear juice?, slightly peppery like a rye beer, not awful. Palate: Medium-ish body, fairly lively effervescence. Flav.: Watery, vague fruitiness and slight rye pepperiness, a strange...vegetal/floral note?, old apple juice, not particularly good; dry with some odd astringency and a watery, peppery, vaguely fruity finish.

Another miss for gluten-intolerants and Celiacs. Sorry, folks.

Bottle. I have no way to describe this beer. I didn’t enjoy it at all. Im glad I didn’t buy the six pack.

Bottle. Pours a crystal clear iced-tea amber with an effervescent fizzy head that vanishes in less than a minute. Lots of carbo bubbles in the glass, such that it looks like soda pop. I agree with presario on the aroma-- strongly metallic, with an odd compost-sweet smell underlying. This is the worst smelling beer I’ve had in a while. I’ll even take Alley Kat’s garlic-infused lager aroma over this. Flavours are all wrong too. A nightmare hodge-podge of rotten veggies, sweet-and-sour caramel, and metal. Watery mouthfeel. Finish is slightly tart. worse than the blonde gluten-free brew offered by the same brewery. Horrendous. If there were no beer but this beer, then I would drink water.

Kind of flat dark reddy copper with minimal head. Sour cinamon alluminum scent. Very metallic, sour finish, caramel and sugar.
