Arômes de levure avec des notes terreuses. On sent la présence du malt et du houblon. D’une merveilleuse couleur cuivrée avec un collet de fine mousse persistent. En bouche, des notes d’agrumes, de caramel. Le houblon embaume la bouche, la gorge, allouette! Très long arrière-goût. Le corps est généreux. Très bien balancée. J’aime beaucoup cette bière.

Aroma of corn flakes, hops, floral esters, some black pepper. Smooth, complex, fairly dense mouthfeel. ChazyRPh (571), Chazy, New York, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 15/20 | Mar 8, 2005 bottle...clear amber pour with a rocky tan head. Floral hop aroma, some barnyard aroma also...very pleasant. Fruity, bitter, a little caramelly in the middle. This is quite enjoyable. Just a hint of that barnyard that I smelled, and the intrigue of that is inviting. This is a well done brew. PrimeMinister (138), Quebec, Canada
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Feb 18, 2005 Amber with impressively generous white head. Grapefruit bitterness, floral hops, caramel, and something else on which I can’t put my finger on. Very complex and delightful. 5000 (2589), Hardened Liver, Washington, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 10, 2005 Bottle pours amber, large off-white foamy head, web like lacing, with very active carbonation. Aroma is of tea leaves and tobacco. Very interesting. Forwardly vegetable like, tobacco and tea, with only a soft hop bite. Good body, with a medium mouthfeel. FInishes with a bit more tobacco and tea. The IPA is there, its just very soft. Interesting... Thanks goes out to radiomgb for the trade!

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jan 18, 2005 Bottle... Hazy, copper ale with a large, creamy, off-white head. The aroma and flavor are all about caramel, malt, honey, citrus rind and iced tea (goldings). Very generously bittered for preservation and balance. Medium-bodied and astringent. Lingering, bitter, dry finish. Well done! Eructoblaster (1506), Gatineau, Quebec, Canada
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 27, 2004 Superb cloudy copper body topped with a thick and lasting off-white foamy head. Pleasant hoppy (Golding, of course...) aroma with flowery, herbal, roasty, and malty notes. Strong hoppy taste that unfortunately lacks complexity since the hoppy flavors are too dominant. Its long and bitter finish is lovely. Another wonderful beer from Bièropholie.
