| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 6, 2006 Verre de 12 onces à la brewpub, 8/26/06 avec Olivier. Fin, fin, fin! De la robe, au nez, à la palette, cette biere chante si réalistement, pourtant si doucement des houblons arômatiques (des herbes fraises, vertes, poignantes), des peaus-malts douces et souples et des fruits badins. Un arôme massif que peut sentir au loin de la verre. Des fruits ronds (des cerises sèches), des houblons en abondance et un peu de levure. Une moyenne quantité des houblons au début, avec une fabuleuse qualité très parfumée. La texture est très substantielle, mais la bière est bien attenuée. Des peaus sucres restent, avec une ombre d’adhérance, créant un équilibre parfait. La carbonisation est légère et engageante. Des fruits, peut-être des noix, nougats (très secs) et des notes de thé s’értenisent..... Miguel (1181), Saint-Ours, Quebec, Canada

Arômes de caramel et de malt. Saveurs de caramel et de houblon amérisant floral. Quevillon (1532), Sainte-Thérèse, Quebec, Canada
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 4, 2006 Bu à la Fête Bière et Saveurs 06, en fut (#16). Blonde un peu foncée, mini collet. Arome d’houblon un peu amère. Faible goût d’houblon mais très aimère, qui s’améliore avec le temps. LadySusan (488), Ste-Therese, Quebec, Canada
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 10, 2006 Cloudy orange color, with a light beige head. It has a good aroma of malt. The taste has some bitterness that leaves a good taste in your mouth and also a good after taste. Lubiere (4548), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Aug 20, 2006 Golden amber ale with a lacing off white head. Sweet caramel aroma with notes of clovers and grass. In mouth, fresh ground malt with chewy nuts, and lingering British hops. Medium bodied. Quite lovely. On tap at BP August 12, 2006. beerbuzzmontreal (2916), Montreal, Quebec, Canada
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jan 29, 2007 The pour reveals a cloudy amber color with a thin offwhite head. Appealing aroma of caramel, fruity hops and peaches. Good, long lasting flavor of burnt caramel, citrusy hops and peaches with a bitter finish. The body is light to medium with a creamy texture and soft carbonation. Another well-done beer from Quebec’s master of balance. MartinT (5068), Montreal, Quebec, Canada
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Aug 19, 2007 My Bottom Line:
The constant earthy and orangey hop display is seamlessly integrated to the round caramel maltiness, assuring a healthy, pleasant session Pale Ale.
Further Personal Perceptions:
-A sheet of foam settles atop the clear russet.
-The hop signature and grain bill are surely cousins of L’Amère Veilleuse, their star ESB.
-Leafy hop resins conjure up a satisfying finishing bitterness.
-The plump mouthfeel is one of its most pleasurable features.
On tap at the brewpub. josarah (106), Hinesburg, Vermont, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 15/20 | Mar 30, 2009 Draft at brewpub. Rich golden amber color, smallish white head, pleasant toffee aroma. Very enjoyable ale with just enough hops to brink to fruity flavors forward. A bit thin in body but the taste makes up for it.
