RJ Le Cheval Blanc Sainte-Paix aux Pommes

Brewed by Brasseurs RJ
Style: Fruit Beer
Montreal, Canada

Elle goût plus les pommes que l’Éphémère aux pommes et elle un peu plus délissieuse que l’autre.

Bouteille-Ale fruité aux pommes, blond-dorée trouble, bonne arôme de pommes, raffraichissante, amer et sucré.--Bottle-Fruity ale apples, golden blonde very cloudy, good apples aroma, very refreshing, sour and sweet.

Hazy golden ale with a thin white head. Sour apples in nose with wheaty malt. A bit wild. In mouth, sour apples and tart notes with the nice wheaty malt background, tarnished by traces of oxidation. Creamy mouthfeel and medoium bodied.

Pours a cloudy yellow color with a thin creamy white head. Interesting aroma of baked apples and cinnamon, it feels a lot like an apple pie. The flavor has the same apple pie element with some doughy yeast. The body is medium with a creamy texture, the carbonation is moderate. This beer has nothing outstanding or special but does a good job as a simple, enjoyable, refreshing beer.

660 ml bottle. Lovely, luminescent slightly hazy cider-gold, lasting creamy top...sweet apples and a hint of light malt in the nose...too much carbonation and a watery texture defeat the body, with a lemon-Sprite character that dominates the finish...improves slightly as it warms; this is a bit better than the Fraises (I actually finished it, anyway).

Golden amber in colour. Aroma of apples with some sugar. The flavour had some apples but lacking in something. Thin body, medium carbonation. Finishes with a weak bitterness, fairly quick. Rather disappointing.

Well I really love apples in the fall and this aroma was a clear memory of apple orchards here in southern Ontario. After that it all kind of fell apart though. Looked like an apple cider with a cider-like taste but with a funky finish and a lack of character.

Nice effervescent and cloudy body. Its head unfortunately lacks some density and fades quickly. Good and fresh apple aroma with some very subtle hints of coriander. The taste is watery and sort of disappointing. It definitely lacks some punch (especially compared to Éphémère aux pommes...) and apples are a way less present than it is in the aroma. Very discreet palate. Some work is to be done on that one: I felt like drinking east-german Apfelschörl cutted with water, which must be very refreshing on a warm summer afternoon...
