  • Beau's All Natural Wonder Crush
    rated 3.5 1 week ago

    Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7

    Lightly hazed, light golden-yellow with a foamy white, small head, decent stay and mild soapy lacing spots. Lemon zest aromas, orange juice and some tropical fruit, herbal notes. A crisp, lighter-bodied mouthfeel. Citrus peel and tad juices in the flavours. Not a bad juicy IPA, but does feel like a lighter 4% ABV version all-around.

    Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 9

    Hazy golden-orange colour with a big, frothy-creamy warm off-white head with very good retention, leaving good thick foamy lacing patches. Piney aromas over big citrus juices, and some tropical fruits in the background. Quite some bitterness building in the taste, with softer dryness following. Citrus zest flavours all-over with the tropical notes blending. Kind of a juicy East coast with a hopbomb West coast catching you off-guard - Triple IPA.

  • Brasserie du Bas-Canada Bulle
    rated 3.8 1 week ago

    Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 8

    Fairly clean, bright light-golden colour with a frothy white cap, good stay and some soapy lacing streaks. Funky sour farmhouse aromas with fresh lemon scent, Saison yeast and hints of white wine wooded barrels. The taste has the sourness, but much milder, blending with the vinous notes, lemon zest and light woodiness. Gets a slight hazed as it pours. The mouthfeel is medium-bodied, getting to the thinner side in the finish. A very good, easy-drinking, lighter-bodied Farmhouse Saison with a nice touch of wild ale, citrus and the barrel of white wine.

  • Lost Craft Coastal Wave
    rated 3.8 1 week ago

    Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 8

    Hazy golden-amber colour with a frothy-foamy warm off-white head, great stay and leaving sticky-soapy lacing. Aromas are quite fruity with loads of tropical fruits, some bready notes coming out eventually and hints of yeast. Quite East-Coast so far. Then, the West Coast comes out with good bitterness in the taste, a touch of pine covering the milder citrusy base. A slight thinner mouthfeel with decent dryness in the finish. Orange flavours appear with time, blending their zest with a touch of their juices. Quite an interesting, refreshing IPA that balances well both coast-styles.

  • Sir John Flagada
    rated 4.0 1 week ago

    Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 9

    Hazy golden, unfiltered with a bunch of tiny particles of different sizes that float around. The head is frothy, somewhat creamy, white coloured with good retention and foamy-soapy lacing. Big citrus nose with lemon zest, orange juice and mild oats. Pineapple notes come out in the taste with the citrusy juices, and light herbal hops lingering. A juicy, wet mouthfeel with just a touch of building dryness. Hints of pineapple does come out in the aromas with time. Quite a juicy, refreshing, not-too-dry, oat-lactose DIPA.

  • Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 8

    A very slight, unfiltered light golden colour with a bunch of really tiny particles through it. The head is frothy, white, long lasting with some thick, soapy-foamy lacing left. Lemon-citrus aromas over the wheat mild sweetness, balanced by a herbal touch. The taste has this Pilsner-feel with mineral water, light spicy malts and good herby-hops. Thinner bodies, but yet enough to be wet and refreshing. Cereals come out in the nose with time. A very nice beer, but almost feels more like a refreshing Pilsner than a Witbier as not getting the coriander and orange peel.

  • À Outrance Mon Bord du Pont
    rated 3.7 1 week ago

    Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 8

    Hazy golden-yellow colour with a fluffy-frothy white head, good retention and some nice, sticky-foamy lacing. Fresh orange juice aromas with the fruity-sweetness and herbal hints to balance. The taste blends a little more citrus zest with the orangy juices, and some mild dryness in the end. A tad pineapple and white grapes does come out with time in the nose. Not getting too much of my love - Nelson Sauvin, but this is a really good juicy, hazy Pale ale with a tangerine touch (almost like more Nectaron hops).

  • Le Castor Métamorphe Double NEIPA
    rated 4.0 1 week ago

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

    Hazy amber-orange with golden highlights, a frothy-creamy warm off-white head, good retention and full tiny streaks of lacing. Big orange juice nose with citrus peel, tropical fruit notes and floral hints. Juicy mouthfeel with a slow, light building dryness. Orange juice taste again, with decent grassiness, a herbal touch to balance things. Quite a nice, real juicy Double NEIPA with the hops well-blended to make this a good refreshing, drinking experience.

  • Sir John Slack la Poulie
    rated 3.6 2 weeks ago

    Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7

    Hazy golden colour with a big fluffy-frothy off-white head, good retention and lots of sticky-soapy lacing spots. Aromas of lemon zest, mild orange juice, a touch of wax blended with pear and apples from the Cashmere. The taste continues with the apples, pears balanced with the citrus notes. Some mild alcoholic-bitter moutheel with a touch of dryness.

  • À La Dérive Sûre Ta Tailgate
    rated 3.6 2 weeks ago

    Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 8

    Pours a slight haze, red-purple-peachy colour with a fizzy light-pinkish head that disappears quickly. Sour aromas with fruity raspberries and hints of oranges. The taste shows raspberry juices with the sourness again lingering and a touch of tart left. A nice refreshing, juicy, sour with the fruity raspberry notes.
