Les Frères Houblon Bière Rousse

Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 5 | Mouthfeel: 4 | Flavor: 4 | Overall: 5

Bottle: Poured a light clear brown color ale with a huge off-white foamy head with good retention and minimal lacing. Aroma of caramel malt is lightly sweet. Taste is mostly dominated by some lightly sweet caramel malt with some light notes of some weird ester some chemical or infected. Body is about average with some great carbonation. I have not had a beer from this brewery in years and this definitely better then expected but still not totally great.

Bought in a convenient store in the Saguenay region. The numbers for the date of bottling are there, but nothing is notched off... what a waste of info. Pours a murky orange-beige-brown colour with a tanned foamy head that stays a while. Good lacing all-around and a coating tops the brew. Sediments on the light-colour side are at the bottom of the glass. That's about all I have good to say about this one. The rest is like most of their other brews, seems infected. Sour lemony nose with some hop. Sour taste too with whatever hop they are using. Some acceptable red apple flavour comes out of this and mild coffee, late in the aftertaste.
