Schoune Rebs Ale

Bouteille 341 ml. Mousse en dentelle qui s’estompe. Au nez des arômes de pommes et de caramel au beurre sont présents. En bouche elle est un peu ronde. On goûte les pommes rouges, le caramel et le citron.

341mL bottle. Murky dark orange/brown colour. Small white head. Very smooth, oily. Surprisingly there’s not really any hint of the alcohol. Flavour has a nice bitterness to it, but doesn’t last long enough. Surprisingly easy to drink, though not the most interesting.

bouteille, bière agréable à l’oeil comme au goût. un peu de caramel, belle amertume, équilibre parfait, sans reproche et sans distinction

This is a very red red beer. This is the brightest orange I’ve seen in any beer. When I pour in the sediment, it turns totally opaque and yellow ochre. Large chunks of gray dead yeast settle at the bottom. The nose is pleasing with a hint of lambic funkiness (since this is NOT supposed to be a spontaneous fermentation beer, however, that does not bode well). The flavor reminds of me of some of the really bad beers by Breughel I’ve had. It’s bitter and strange... muddy. Mud, clay, and vinegar. Lemon peel? Awful. Label says it won a bronze medal at the Chicago World Beer Championships, but it’s easily one of the five worst Quebec beers I’ve tasted.
