La Barberie Ambrée aux Piments Forts

Brewed by La Barberie
Style: Spice/Herb/Vegetable
Québec City, Canada

on tap at the brewpub. To me this was your typical amber ale, and in la barberies case a typical watery amber ale. I couldn’t find hot peppers in here anywhere. Mind you it seemed to warm in my throat about a couple minutes later, but that could also have been heartburn.

Bière à 5%, de style ambrée. De couleur rousse claire, Bière rafraîchissante d’été. Léger goût fruité au début, suivi d’un goût pimenté à la finale. Un plaisir d’été que j’attend! à quand l’embouteillage???

En fût au Zaricot. Robe rousse très claire aux reflets cuivrés surmontée d’une mousse blanche timide. Arômes timides. Saveurs de malt caramélisé et de houblon floral. Piment piquant en finale, plaisant ma foi...

Bu au Mondial de la Bière 04. J’étais curieux et je l’ai satisfais. C’est spécial comme bière mais pas à reboire.

Hazy amber with a thin white. Malted aroma with light perceptible hot peppers. In mouth, grainy malt with light hops, sourish and light peppers in mid-tasting, in back of throat. Light watery bodied. On tap at Vices Versa, Summer 2005.

On tap at Vices et Versa, hazy amber-orange color, with a shy foamy white head, pale malt, spicy pepperish nose, with hint of jalapeno aroma, follows through on a medium-bodied spicy palate, with pale malt, shy floral note, leading to a soft but well present peppery finish.

On tap at Vices & Versa, Montréal. Hazy amber body topped with a nice but diminishing off-white frothy head. Fresh malty/hoppy aroma with some herbal and flowery notes. Its hoppy taste carries robust pepperish hints. It ends with a long bitter finish. Interesting and well balanced product.
