Snoro (186), Montréal, Quebec, Canada Apr 22, 2008 Belle couleur rougeâtre, peu de broue, légère dentelle, effervescente, goût qui me surprend pas.
blankboy (2687), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Aug 12, 2008 <i>Bottle.</i> Pours a clear orange-amber with an average size diminishing white head. Very mild aroma of caramel malt, very light hops and a hint of sugary fruit. Flavour’s the same: Caramel malt, light sugary fruit and very light hops. Light bitter finish. Average bodied. Another average or mediocre Quebec beer. Blah. LadySusan (382), Ste-Therese, Quebec, Canada Aug 9, 2008 On tap at Vices et Versa. The color is amber with not much head. The taste or lack of it, is malt and some kind of vegie taste with very little bitterness. Sammy (3240), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Jun 7, 2008 Picked up in Trois Riviers. Pours a pale and foamy. Aroma of yeast and malt and alcohol. Medium mouthfeel, approachable. Medium plus mouthfeel. MartinT (4458), Montreal, Quebec, Canada May 2, 2008 <i>My Bottom Line:</i><br />
Basic caramelized cereals surround meek leafy hops in this well-executed but inconsequential Belgian-style Ale.<br />
<br />
<i>Further Personal Perceptions:</i><br />
-A veil of foam tops the translucent regal with an orangey sheen.<br />
-The body is rather round for the beer’s size. Its residual sugars may outweigh both the hops’ and the yeast’s contribution.<br />
-The earthy hop finish is quite subtle, but it’s pretty much where the hops are the most useful in this beer.<br />
-It may be a tad too sweet, but it remains a suitable introduction beer for flavor-fearing neophytes.<br />

<b>Bottle.</b> HogTownHarry (3361), Toronto (Harbourfront), Ontario, Canada Apr 27, 2008 <b>Bottle (341ml)</b>. <i>Via trade with papat444</i>. Clear refractive burnished copper pour with a small quick-diminish fizzy head. Sweet light roast caramel malt with perfume/floral notes and an interesting bit of peat or iron in there. Very generic "rousse" style, pungent dry floral bitterness balances characterless toasted malt, but there’s some iodine/hessian peatiness and even a hint of cocoa. Light body, not much carbonation, I would like a little more finish and astringency in this one - not a bad ale, but as Rastacouere says, a little timid.
