(Rating #1620) 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. 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 />
