La Mare au Diable Blonde de St.François

Brewed by La Mare au Diable
Style: Golden Ale/Blond Ale
Sherbrooke, Canada

A hazy orange beer with a small white head. The aroma is very spicy and fruity with ginger and apricot being most dominant. The flavor is sweet and very fruity - again apricot, but also with hints of spices, where anise is detectable.

Light haze ponctuates the dull falt golden hue. Worty nse, insufficient fermentation apparently, husky and floral. Lemony wet taste, mellow hops feel oldish, oxidized nature. Very low carbonation, light bodied, dull..

Mild diacetyl, mild herbal hops and grainy malts in the aroma. Clear blonde body with shy white fully-diminishing head. Very bland, grainy, herbal flavour with low finishing bitterness. Light body, low carbonation, watery texture. Sampled at the brewpub with Oakes, Rastacouere and Ungstrup.

Dull gold colour...love that flatness. Apple juicy aroma...not necessarily acetaldehyde, just apple esters and residual sugars. Tastes a little like apple juice as well. Plasticy phenols add to the "pleasure". Watery finish. Oh my.

Goût surprenant et rafraichissante. Le propriétaire la fait en petite quantié, ce qui lui confère un gout à redécouvrir à chaque visite. Un tantinet plus âpre mais au gout des amateurs de blonde

Hazy blonde with light malt and apples in aroma. Crisp malt and light hops in mouth, medium bodied beer.

A quiet citrusy hay aroma heralds quaffability...A nice cereal nip grabs the tongue and lingers for a while, slowly fading...This is admittedly their blond house beer, for those locals who are still scared of something without a macro name on it...Well-done for this purpose...
