Commercial Description:
Pour les brasseurs amateurs, le March In Montreal (MIM) est un incontournable pour mesurer la qualité de leurs bières une fois par année. Il est organisé par The Canadian Amateur Brewers Association (CABA) en association avec les MontreAlers et l'Institut de la bière. Des juges certifiés par le Beer Juge Certification Program (BJCP) notent les bières par catégories. Chaque année quelques centaines de bières sont soumise et une cinquantaine de médailles sont décernées. Parmi ces médaillées, 3 bières se voient décernées les position 1 à 3 pour les Best of Show, donc les meilleures des meilleures. Les Trois Mousquetaires sont heureux d'offrir au brasseur de la meilleure bière de l'évènement la chance de pouvoir venir brasser leur chef d'oeuvre dans nos installation pour être ensuite distribuer sur le marché. Cette année l'heureux gagnant est Elie Roy de Longueuil. Sa bière, La Festive, est une "American Brown Ale". Elle s'est vue décerné la médaille d'or dans la catégorie "Americans" avant de ravir les grands honneurs pour la Best of Show. Nous avons brassé cette bière en compagnie d'Elie Roy au début février 2006. La Festive se présente en tenue de soirée des plus éclatante. D'une robe sombre teintée d'acajou elle est surmontée d'un collet de dentelle fine à la couleur d'un café-crème. Son parfum délicat et sucré rappel le chocolat au lait ainsi que le caramel roux. Son amertume fruité, florale et tranchante jumelée à un doux caramel, font d'elle une bière des plus festive.

Beautiful mahogany with red highlights body topped by a long lasting off-white head. I found the aroma to have a pleasant hashish character (unlighted hashish that is), no kidding. Others will describe it as a tobacco aroma only because their mothers read ratebeer. Taste is very malty, nutty, roasted bread, tobacco leaves, cacao and “grainy?” hops. Rich body. Intense rough bitterness with pepper and dry tree bark flavours. The transition from the initial malty taste to the hoppy finish is especially well done. The new offerings by Unibroue & other quebec breweries have beer quite disappointing lately. This is the best new beer in Quebec in a while.

Couleur brun foncé, très peu de collet. Arome de noisette et de malte torifier très agréable. Goût légé de noix, très amêre. C’est pas mauvais.

341 ml bottle. Really dark brownish color. Good foamy head. Malty aroma. Ultra bitter beer. Too bitter for me.

The pour reveals a clear brown color with ruby highlights and a thin offwhite head. Floral hops get intimate with my nostrils as soon as I put the glass under my nose, intersting, there is also a good dose of malt including caramel malt and coffee. The flavor is very strong on the hops for a brown ale, the hops are floral and leave a lenghty dry bitterness in the finish, but of course this beer isn’t just about hops, there’s a good buttery caramel malt in there and nuts. The body is light to medium with an oily texture and moderate carbonation. A good brown ale.

Bottle (341ml). via trade with Lubiere. Poured deep ruby brown with a smallish beige head. Very dry roasty caramel/butterscotch malt aroma, with bitter chocolate and coffee grounds, dry floral hops on warming - more like a traditional porter but I’m not complaining, this smells great. Taste is very bitter and herbal, with a long celery, earthy finish and aftertaste - very odd. Mouthfeel is somewhat watery, very astringent, only mildly carbonated - very unbalanced, but certainly unique - I wish the roastiness in the aroma had translated to the flavour.

[bottle at MiM] Very dark brown with wispy, white lacing. Excellent rich coffee and caramel aroma with piney hops and a touch of butterscotch. Significanly bitter flavour that is from a nice blend of hops and dark malts. Curious mix of high roastiness and high american hops character. Medium to light body and a touch astringent.

Dark brown color, with a frothy tan head, roasted malt, malty with a dark roasted coffee and chocolate notes on the nose with a nutty accent and a subtle floral hops in the aroma follows through on a on a medium-bodied palate with with a rich roasted malt and toasted malt character, with nutty, almondy accents, with a nice balancing grassy undertones, leading towards an emerging well dry hop bittering finish.
