 MartinT (4307), Montreal, Quebec, Canada
Aug 9, 2006 Any first impressions?
-A thick head collapses onto hazy deep golden.
-Timidity is a burden for the citrusy hops and their wooden dryness.
-A clean maltiness produces honeyed grain in a not too expressive flavor profile.
-The soft carbonation lets you feel the malt adequately.
What if you dig deeper?
-Chalky dryness is found in the back, which is barely hopped, apparently.
-Apricot-like fruitiness helps the quenching factor.
-Bready notes are later discovered after much searching in the aroma.
-This felt like a styleless strong blond ale, which has nothing especially wrong with it, but which got seriously boring before the halfway mark in the pint.
On tap at the brewery restaurant.
