Schoune Suroît

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

Serve in English pint, Shaker

A brown blonde ale which is confusing. The body is medium and has a strange mix of nutmeg and snuff which after half a bottle is more than enough.

Aroma of grape soda. Clear golden colour with thin white fully diminishing head. Stale cardboard-like flavour and very grainy. Fairly thin body. Oxidized but at least not infected.

Pourred a hazy yellow brew with a huge head. The beer almost exploded when I opened it but calm down once pourred into my glass. Good mixed of spices with great carbonation. By reading the comments below, it sems this beer might be a bit underrated, or again, I might have been lucky and got a non-infected bottle from this non-consistent brewery.

hazy yellow. huge, well retained white hea. biscuity malt aroma with some citrus and mixed fruit. very sprtizy and yeasty on the palate with some refreshing tartness. looks like I was lucky and got a fresh bottle. quite nice.

Big white head, with lots of tiny bubbles. Slightly citrusy fruity and tart flavour.

Mine didn't explode at all ! And I actually think it was a really good beer. It has a golden colour and a very thick head. Yeasty aroma and fruity and yeasty taste. The brewer may have some bottle problems, but with a score of 2.5 (after 8 raters) I think the beer is underated.

UPDATED: OCT 30, 2003 Like Radek, the beer basically exploded when opened. After saving the carpet, I was pretty happy it was not the Chimay Red. Very ordinary beer, well spiced if anything.

Foggy orange color.Fizzy, spicy and fruity flavor, Citrusy and Yeasty. Simple beer.
