Les Trois Mousquetaires Milady

Formerly brewed at Les Trois Mousquetaires
Style: German Kristallweizen
Brossard, Canada

Light gold with white head. Carbonated spicy flavour with sweet maltiness. Well balanced beer.

Bottle: Pours a milky pale straw wheat ale with a reasonable puffy white cap in my glass. Lively effervessense, thick lacing on the glass. Aromas of swetness ( bubblegum)spices ( clove/cinnamon) and friuts ( Banana/apricot) good nose to this one even though it is almost subtle. Creamy mouth feel, substantive wheat malts, dry spicey character, light bodied. Sweet malts in the front are quickly balanced with sour fruit tastes, midway there are spice and truit tones ( banana/clove) then the finish is clean and dry as the wheat and citrus tartness give an almost puckering dry finish. Flavor profile almost mimicks Magnotta wunderweiss except this has more tart citrus notes to it...a very drinkable and thirst busting domestic Weizen. All the requiste flavor traits of the traditional version but slightly subtle... One of the reasons this brewer is my favorite Quebec brewer .

Robe blonde voilée surmontée d’une mousse blanche timide. Arômes timides de blé. Saveurs de blé, de citron et de levure.

Bouteille de 341 ml. Jaune claire peu brumeuse, beaucoup de bulle, moyen collet. Arome de blé assé doux. Le goût de blé, de citron et un soupson de banane n’est pas trop fort, assé rafréchissant.

Bottle: Poured a pale bright golden yellow color weizen with a big foamy head with very good retention. Aroma of banana and ester is quite affirmative and enjoyable. Taste is very refreshing with clean crisp taste of wheat with some banana and subtle touch of citrus. Body is above average for style and I have to admit that I was pleasantly surprised because I wan’t expecting much from this one.

Aroma was of yeast, wheat, citrus. Color was a pale yellow/very light golden, clear in appearance. Flavors were of yeast, citrus, wheat, spices. Nothing too exciting, a little too watery for my own tastes. Almost seemed like a "light" beer. This one wasn’t very memorable.

Bottle from the <a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Place/quebec/g target=blank>La Trappe à Fromage in Gatineau, Quebec. Hazy yellow in colour, white head ring around the glass, some visible carbonation. The aroma was citrusy (lemons and orange zest), some yeast, cloves and bananas. The flavour was of light malts, floral hops, some fruit (bananas and lemons), spices. Creamy mouthfeel, medium body, medium/high carbonation. Finishes smooth, spicy with some lemon. Not to bad.

Bottle shared with and courtesy of HogTownHarry. Woohoo, a new style! Pours a very bubbly hazy yellow with an average size lasting white head. Aroma of yeast, wheat, lemon, banana, spices and even some hops in there. Slightly watery flavour of wheat, lemon, honey and spices. Quite a lively carbonation on the palate. Thin bodied. Not bad but it’s a little on the bland side.
