2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20 muzzlehatch (4425) - Burlington, USA - JUN 6, 2006
500 ml bottle from Metro Joanette in Verdun, Quebec (May 2006), served a bit above fridge temperature in a La Chouffe tulip. Clear brass with a decent frothy slow-dying head and nice lacing....light nuttiness, odd traces of spearmint and a touch of caramel malt on the low-powered nose....flavor has the basic prerequisites for success, a light nutty-oily character, caramelized malts and a bit of grassiness.....but is undone by a strong cardboardy element, and too much sour lactic/metallic crap going on at the finish.....sad, really, I had some strange hopes for this one.

1.3 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 4/20 JeanB (2) - Quebec, CANADA - MAR 8, 2011 does not count
Bière très moyenne. L’amertume est plutôt rugueuse. Cela manque de finesse. Elle est peu effervescente et laisse peu de gout à la dégustation. Je ne recommande pas du tout cette bière.

500ml bottle from a trade with boutip. pours copper with a small off white head. minimal toffee and pale malt aroma. very straight forward english style bitter pretending to be a brown ale. if it called itself lions pride esb it would have scored a 3.0, calling it a brown ale totally wrong.

Le liquide a une robe brune rougeâtre. Un mince col mousseux se dépose. Le nez est malté avec des notes de pain grillé, de noix et de caramel léger. Des effluves de houblons piquent les narines. Au goût, des saveurs maltées de caramel et de noix viennent amortir des houblons terreux et très verts aux envolées amérisantes. En bouche, le liquide est de moyenne corpulence avec une effervescence vitaminée et une texture collante. La finale se fait sur des notes amères de houblons légèrement trop combatifs.

500ml bottle from Monde des Bières.
Apparence : Clear amber small head no lacing.
Aroma : Sweet malt, notes of caramel. Citrusy hops. A bit mineral. Fruity notes as well. Very fresh and fruity right after the pour. Notes of toffee.
Taste : Sweet and malty. Crisp bitterness. Finish is a bit hot. Some fruits and caramel.
Overall : Rather refreshing and quite drinkable. Nice citrusy hops. Body is thin. This is very light and rather well balanced. I bet this is so much better on tap. Still, this is not bad at all.
