| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 8, 2005 Pours a cloudy dark amber color with a thin white head. Aroma of spicy and citrusy (?) hops with caramel. Flavor of spicy and citrusy hops with caramel and a lasting bitter finish. Light to medium body, dry texture, moderate carbonation. It’ interesting but the hops don’t seem to fit with the altbier style. Rastacouere (5561), Montréal, Quebec, Canada
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | May 1, 2005 Cloudy chestnut brown, sticky off-white head resuming to cover. Subtly peppery and spicy hops accompany a mostly earthy malt profile with coffee hints. Dry hopped? Peaty, dry, bitter and floral. Nutty and leafy spalt?/golding? Hops. Well distributed carbonation, crisp palate. Good stuff, Le Cheval is on a winning streak it seems. tiggmtl (4311), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jan 13, 2005 Entered from notes from Fall/Winter 2003/2004. Mild, sweet malt aroma with some spicy hops. Clear, amber-copper with decent off-white head that diminishes to cover. Fairly bitter with herbal and grassy hop flavours and slightly nutty malt flavour. Medium body. Bottle-conditioned at the brewpub. Lubiere (4549), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Mar 20, 2004 Clear dark golden beer with a sweet malty nose. Sweet malts with lots of sharp german hops make this alt good but the hops can also be overbearring. Good body. MartinT (5068), Montreal, Quebec, Canada
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Feb 22, 2004 Loquacious, creamy toffee around a quiet but ambitious citrus surface...A graminaceous hop aftertaste completes the discrete hopsmosis as the nose's prognosis of great balance is confirmed...A slight buttery emphasis deserves a careful and attentive analysis, yet can be quaffed without much conscience...
