Clear amber to orange hue, lasting creamy ivory head. Heavy filtration is apparent in both the looks and taste. Soapy, orangey and grassy fuggles show very little character in the aroma despite completely unapparent maltiness. Wet paper flavours rapidly take over the floral palate. Very sweet for a bitter, deceptively thin.

Very low, sweet, soapy, floral, lavender aroma. Clear copper coloured body is topped by a fine bubbled white head. Mildly bitter floral, soapy hops with stale notes of cardboard. Medium light body with soft carbonation. Sampled on tap at the brewpub with Olivier MTL and Rastacouere.

Draft at the brewpub. Pours dark straw with a medium, very creamy, white head. Aroma of malt, fruit, hops. Tastes malty, with some fruit, hops, and a finishing slightly bitter and hoppy yet malty sweet taste. Good complexity.

On Draft at the Brewpub, NY, April 2004: Light amber color, little head on top. Soft carbonation. Malt nose. Hoppy taste with some malty undertones and a long lasting aftertaste.
