Commercial Description:
This is an iridescent amber coloured beer which is topped by a foam reminiscent of perpetual snow. Each draught is ample, without being heavy. The malt savours that envelop the palette are followed by a lightly roasted flavour. A taste of caramel echoes its way into the aftertaste, as the whole is crowned by a hint of bitterness.

Like a red, very creamy and lacey amber to reddish colour. Good bitterness, more than others have observed-an improved recipe or very fresh batch?

4th of 13 tasters @ the wonderful place that is Dieu du Ciel! Pours amber with a thin off white head. The nose was sweet and malty. The taste was very light, creamy and malty, overall a really great example of the style.

On tap at the brewpub, visited June 23 2007 with a big group of friends (no fellow rateberrieans though). Slightly hazy golden amber with a decent white. Aromas of vanilla cookies and caramel, flavour profile much the same with a faintly fruity quality in the finish. Perhaps it is just that the finish is a little acidic, slightly tart even. Very drinkable and delicious.

Faint toffee aroma that is killed by the nitrogen service. Ruddy orange with a nitrogen, guinnessy white head. Bitter flavour up front followed by an excellent toffee chased by the bitterness that evens out to a clean finish with a little nutty peach in there somehow. Light to medium body, moderate carbonation, lasting bitterness.

Sample at brewery. Light lemon, lemongrass, wheat, lime notes. Gentle hops, crystal sugar, grass. Green german and czech hops noticable. Decent.

Draught. Creamy uncomplicated. Perfect maltiness with a great faom. Carbonation is mute. The best example of a canadian cream ale I have come across. Grossly underrated.

The taste is very malty. NOt veyr bitter. Contains a taste very alcoholic and the foam is good and stays in the glass.

[on tap at the brewpub] Clear golden/orange color, huge creamy head that lasted. Well balanced hop and malt flavors with a creamy smooth finish. Very good beer, very drinkable, a prime example of a Cream Ale.
