Spicy rye plays well with citrus hops along with some earthy, herbal notes in the nose. Clear copper coloured body is topped by a decent white head that recedes to a lasting coverwith excellent lacing. Very dry malt forward flavour shows off the spicy rye character nicely and plays well against the assertive bitterness. Herbal, earthy, citrus hop flavours come into play toward the finish. Medium light body is quite dry with lively carbonation that engages the tongue. Sampled on tap at the brewpub.

Amber ale with an average head. Cereal, biscuit and hop aroma. Nice balance between the hops and sugars. Medium bodied. Nice beer.

Bu sur place dans un échantion de 4 oz. Blonde simple, moyen collet. Arome d’houblon sucré plaisant. Bon goût d’houblon sucré, arrière goût amère.

Verre de 20 oz, d’un fût à la brasserie. Arômes de houblons citronnés et de fruits jaunes. Robe cuivrée, peu de mousse et légèrement effervescente. En bouche, elle possède un petit côté velouté et une légère acidité provenant probablement du seigle. On note également une présence fruitée et sucrée de fruits jaunes (prunes jaunes). Le houblon citronné ferme la marche de façon autoritaire pour une Pale Ale.

Draught pint shared at the brewpub with tiggmtl during the Mondial, 2006. Good thick lacing and a small but creamy and lasting white head top the coppery-clear body....grapefruit, lavender and a lovely earthy pungency tickle the nose....body is very full, juicy with a big rye-sourdough character and lots of citric bitterness from midpalate on to the long finish....resinous character, lovely balance, one of the spicier pale ales I’ve had recently.
