Jul 18, 2008 660mL bottle, with a label that is about 20x cooler than the one pictured, of some voyageurs rowing through some rough waters. Damn, this one was good. Pours a really nice amber colour with a large tan head. What seems like a simple Belgian Wit is so much more. Right from the aroma I could tell it was going to be a good one. All the good aspects of a Wit with some delicious other malty aspects thrown in. Spicy, corriander and clove, with some roasty caramalt, given great body and feel from the yeast. Everything leads into this amazing herbal earthy finish of ground spices and a hint of bittering hops. Estery too. I loved this stuff, and could drink it all the time if it were only available in Ontario!

Apr 29, 2008 Bottle as Cap Espoir. Full, potatoey, yeasty aroma, mushrooms. Decent body, unfiltered, filling, but flavor is very bland. Mostly just old, stale hops, some metal.

Jan 27, 2008 Bière cuivrée et ambrée voilée, sans col et avec peu d’effervescence. Le portrait de famille des bières des brasseurs RJ. Le parfum est dominé par les herbes : coriandre, basilic, poivre, avec un arrière plan d’agrumes et caramel. Le goût n’est pas à la hauteur du parfum, mais va dans le même sens. Bière surtout sucrée avec des notes de levures. Le palais est très mince, plutôt aqueux. Comme j’ai déjà dis pour une bière de RJ, une teneur plus forte en alcool aurait donné une profondeur souhaitable.

Dec 28, 2007 Just as cloudy opaque as its sixpack-mate Ambree, but a darker amber. The aroma is all wheaty wit and spice. The palate is much the same, with quite a sweet spicey finish, maybe a touch of orange peel. Again, finely carbonated and very refreshing just as I found the Ambree. Very nice.

Oct 4, 2007 Cap Espoir 12oz bottle. Crisp unfiltered amber ale. Lots of spice and citrus notes. Wonderfully complex and drinkable. The yeast gives it a nice creamy effect. Delicious.
