Schoune Suroît

Brewed by Ferme Brasserie Schoune
Style: Golden Ale/Blond Ale
St-Polycarpe, Canada

Serve in English pint, Shaker

Cloudy golden-yellow in colour, lingering medium-sized white sized head, some lacing. The aroma is zesty, orange citrus with some yeast, light musty basement. The flavour is quite watery, some light citrus, earthy, some pears. Watey mouthfeel (sort of what its like after just having a starfruit), light body, medium carbonation. Finishes fairly quick, light and watery with a light bitterness. Nothing to special.

341ml bottle from <a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Place/quebec/g target=blank>La Trappe à Fromage in Gatineau, Quebec, no best before date.

I had absolutelly no expectation from this beer and found an interesting beer. Clear spicy and cinnamon flavor.

[ Bottled ; chilled ; dates are unknown ; clearing common bottle from cellar to make room]
Mostly lasting average creamy white head that tops up a hazy light yellow body. Few thin particules. Aroma is heavy cereal/bread while hops are light grass and yeast is heavy sweat. Also, there are excessive notes of vegetable/cooked corn. Initial flavor is heavily sour/acidic surrounded by cereal while development is simply repulsive. Finish is short (thank god!). Light body.. watery texture... Soft carbonation..

I know one day I’ll be able to finish a Schoune.

Hazy pale yellow hue, with a frothy white head, floral hops, hint of spicy cinnamon, apples fruitiness, pale malt aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a fruity, sweet pale malt character, leading towards a lingering hops bittering finish.

341ml bottle shared with PandoraGreen and gilvanblight. Deep straw shade, small white fluffy head. Fruity malt aroma, bit of caramel and citrus-orange hops. Dryish with some malt, good dash of hops in the finish. Fairly thin bodied with a washed out feel.

Beautiful hazy golden body topped with a huge white bubbly head. Good and surprisingly complex malty aroma with some notes of yeast, bread, flowers and fruits. Taste is not really good: hoppy bitterness is partly hidden by some harsh aciditic flavors. It ends with a short finish. Despite some qualities, I do not recommend it.

Bottled. Cloudy golden. Doughy malt aroma with some acidity. Lemony, but in a balanced way. There’s melon and other fruits and pleasant, deep malt character. No bitterness.

Cloudy blonde color, thin white head. Weak fruity and yeasty aroma. The flavor is the same : fruity , yeasty and weak. Thin body, strong, fizzy carbonation. This one doesn’t seem to be infected, but even then it’s not good at all.
