How: Tap at Chambly beer Fest 2010
The look: Cloudy peach color with a few big bubbles acting as a head
In long: Nose is mostly floral, borderline perfume with light notes of cat piss. Taste is yeasty and fruity. Pineaples, banana cake, citrus fruits. A bit of plywood. Some hops resin at the end. This beer felt muddy to me and not refreshing at all. Like when I pour myself a glass from the last 10% of some big unfiltered Belgian ale bottle. That muddy. But this wasn’t from a bottle, this was from a tap. Maybe I got the bottom of a keg. I don’t know. Will resample eventually. On thing for sure I didn’t like the glass I was served. Not at all. But maybe I’m just a whining arrogant little prick. How much of an arrogant prick I am you may ask? Let me put it this way. You put the Dalai Lama and I in the same room and I’m pretty sure that within 15 minutes he’ll try to take a swing at me.

Sample at Chambly festival.
Appearance : Pale yellow with a medium foamy and creamy head. Lots of lacing.
Aroma : Nicely herbal and yeasty. light acidity.
Taste : Herbal and floral. Bitter finish Yeasty and dry.
Overall : Quite herbal and floral overall with an interesting acidity. Nice nose, nice citrusy hops. Interesting beer but it doesn’t feel very polished. Good stuff still.
