Jan 26, 2007 An hazed dark amber ale with a thick big bubbled off white head. Aroma of caramel malt and oxidation. In mouth, a sweetish malt with light fruity esters, ripe apples, and surprinsing hoppyness, compared to other Grisette. Some lactic points developping. Medium bodied. BB 26-10-06. Bieropholie private order.

Sep 10, 2006 Hazy amber with a small white head. Sweet fruit and yeast aroma: really very nice. The taste is dull and watery. There’s a lot of fizz and some subdued sourness and bitterness.
Rastacouere (5551), Montréal, Quebec, Canada
Sep 5, 2006 Nicely lacing head which leaves large sheets of off-white foam around the glass sides. Otherwise, the pour is totally clear and of an earthy caramel color. Smelling, it does feel rather shy and unexpressive, leaving an impression of cerealic grains, some perhaps underfermented malts comprising a good dose of residual sugars, yet not managing to give anything resembling a caramelly suggestion. In mouth, it feels surprisingly hoppy compared to the other grisettes. A good slicing herbal/leafy aromatic combination does give the impression of increased dryness. The bitterness remains unagressive, imparting a slight lagery character, though the carbonation is obviously too creamy, if active for that. Slightly vegetal aspects, but I can’t say they don’t intermingle nicely with the bready and herbal notes. Simple and approachable beer, but you’re not gonna lift any hearts with that one.
Eructoblaster (1477), Gatineau, Quebec, Canada
Aug 27, 2006 Bottle. Nice cloudy amber body topped with a decent off-white foamy head. Fair malty/hoppy aroma with herbal notes. Taste is dominated by hoppiness. It also carries some oaky hints. Ends with a decent bitter finish. OK, but not impressive.
saxo (3513), Højbjerg, Aarhus, Denmark
Aug 8, 2006 Bottle. Nice head but it fades right away. Color is amber. Decent aroma of caramel and malt. Taste is sweet and a bit acidic.
CapFlu (3480), Victoria, British Columbia, Canada
Jul 17, 2006 (25cl bottle) Purchased through the Bieropholie/SAQ importations. Pours a quick dissipating white head with a hazy, orange amber body. Nose of mild caramel malt and slight whiskey barrel. Flavour of a full palate of caramel malt and thin corn finish. Fairly plain by comparasion and overly malty. Could use some counter balance.
