Les Trois Mousquetaires Blonde

Brewed by Les Trois Mousquetaires
Style: Premium Lager
Brossard, Canada

Gold lager with a light malt aroma with some hops. Intense saaz hops , resinous with crisp malt . Extremely fresh. A great lager! Thanks Chris!

Bottled: poured a hazey honey-gold color. Active carbonation and a modest cap that laces well enough. Aromas of fresh milled toasty malts and a slight wisp of cider and herbs. Peppery mouth feel medium light bodied. Malty up front then a fruity acidic decernment from yeast and hops, clean fresh finish slight after taste of bread. A very decent pislsner in the German style...propbably will be over looked or buried in the flood of pilsners on the market, too bad this is a good all malt rendition of the style.

Une blonde de soif respectable. Tout doux en équilibre entre le malt et l’amertume. Présence de quelques flocons dans la bouteille alors que la date d’embouteillage indique 5 mois d’âge.

Sample at April 2007 Brewnosers meeting. Toasty, floral, lightly herbal aroma. Toasty, grainy, floral, lightly herbal flavour. Medium bodied, firm but smooth mouthfeel. Decent.

Clear and shining yellow. Little to no apparent carbonation. Medium sized white head diminishes a bit fast. Aroma is herbal, saazy with big grainy notes. Dry palate, moderately bitter. Could be much more flavorful, lacks a biscuity and/or toasted malt punch and floral characteristics. Nothing developped yet, but there’s definitely skunk potential unfortunately and this is as fresh as can be. Hoping for better as they acquire brewing in big quantities and bottling experience.

Draught pint: This has improved lately, more pronounced Saazy hoppiness make for a drier palate while the malt remains a little shy to my tastes, but crisp and grainy, cleaner character than before. A fine refreshing lager.

Pours a golden body with light haziness and a fair and average-lasting white frothy head. Decent malty aroma with hoppy, herbal and bready hints. Mouthfeel is dominated by relatively intense hoppy flavors. It unfortunately lacks complexity. Leaves a good bitter aftertaste. This is quite a good surprise!

341ml brown bottle. Poured golden, slight trace of white head. Hint of fruit in aroma (slight apple?) but mainly grainy. Sweetish malt flavour. Grain aftertaste with a slight note of herbal hopping.

Golden honey hue. shy foamy head, sweet pale malt, hint of floral character follows through on a medium-bodied palate with vegetal pea note, with a sweetish caramelized malt flavors in a light quick fading mild bitterness.
