Second Italian Pilsner of the night (the first one being Boréale Relais Pilsner Italienne). Big spicy nose from the get-go with herbal notes blending things. A very slight unfiltered, golden colour with a frothy white head, good stay and some light lacing spots. The hops in this one gives enough bitterness for the style. The herbal side that Italian Pilsner have comes out eventually, and lingers. A decent Italian Pilsner, which reminds me that Ontario brewery doing this for a while longer - are usually a bit better (overall).

First Italian Pilsner of two (the other being Henderson Figo). This one pour a clean, light golden colour with a bubbly-soapy white cap, average stay and some soapy lacing spots. Fresh herbal nose with some hints of raisins, grassiness over mild spicy malts. Also malty mild spiciness in the taste with some light, building dryness. Decent herbal notes lingering. An easy, simpler Italian Pilsner with that hops that give a tad raisins - which is not my thing for this style.

Hazy golden colour with a white head, average retention and some decent streaky creamy lacing. Sour aromas with a nice touch of the lemon balm. The taste is a sour blonde base with the tart showing, as lighter in alcohol. Lemony notes help out, and some of the sourness lingers a bit more. A nice light sour ale with lemon balm added for that natural touch.

Second Quebec Maple beer of the night (other being Shawbridge La Coulée - and both being amber ones). Clean amber colour with a light beige head, average stay and some decent lacing tiny spots on the glass. Big maple syrup aromas over fruity malts, apple notes. Maple syrup in the taste, a touch lighter, but yet still sweet, not overly and with hops that cuts with building dryness. Of all maple beers I have had this season, this is the one that has the strongest, real maple syrup, as the others might have more the maple sap. Felt a little too rich at first, but in the end - it was quite a nice maple amber beer.

First of two Quebec Maple beers tonight (the other being Brouemont). A slight hazed, amber colour with a light beige head, decent stay for the style, but lacing is limited. Maple syrup aromas over fruity amber malts, with a touch of burnt wood. Maple flavours with hops that cut the sweetness. Not syrupy at all in the mouthfeel and a good dryness in the end, but not overly. I have tried a few maple beer recently, but this is the one that taste the most, yet - still easy to drink. Good job !!

Mildly hazy, golden-yellow colour with a tad amber hue, a whitish head, average stay and some foamy-soapy lacing spots. Nice citrus aromas with lemon zest, orange juice and blended, light grassiness. The taste continues with the citrus, and lighter as a Pale Ale. Refreshing mouthfeel with just enough dryness, but mostly wet. Some particles fall to the bottom of the glass at last pour. Quite an easy, citrusy, juicy Pale Ale that refreshes.

Lightly hazed, golden-yellow colour with a small cap, fizzing away quickly, not leaving any lace. Beautiful, fresh juice aromas with the passionfruit really coming out, giving that interesting tropical fruit notes. The mango purée blend things, and come out a little more in the taste, lingering. Some good grassiness is felt in nose and mouth. Mild tart, mild sourness, but more fruity. Another good refreshing, juicy Radler with two nicely blending fruits.

Lightly unfiltered, golden colour with an amber hue, and off-white head, decent stay and leaving creamy lacing. Definitely aromas of strawberries and cream, more on the essences and candy side. The taste shows a little more the beer side. Flavours starting on the creamy-strawberry notes, but the bitterness of the beer lingers in the finish. Kind of like a nice Pale Ale base, with some strawberries and mild cream essences. Interesting.

Slightly hazed, amber colour with mild golden highlights, a frothy light-beige head, good retention and thick foamy lacing left. Red ale aromas with caramel malts and fruitiness and hints of spices. The pepper comes out more in the taste, creating a little heat in mouth, lightly lingering. The maltiness is the base of the beer with decent cereal notes. A nice, refreshing Rousse with the pepper just adding enough to stand out, and warm up things.

500ml brown bottle with blue wax on cap - 2023 edition. Pours a dark brown colour with copper-ruby highlights. The head is frothy, mocha-coloured with some good stay and leaving a coating on the brew, decent lacing. Prunes in the aromas over the roasted malt base with hints of vanilla, wood, coffee. Smooth, lightly oily mouthfeel with a tad tart left on the tongue, and not too dry - yet, not syrupy. Mild dark fruits flavours, well-blended with the roasted malt which are smoothed out with the foeder. Even less vanilla in the taste, which is fine, as sometimes too overpowering in some beer. They made another version with vanilla and coconut for those who prefer that. This one is just a really smooth Imperial Stout that just goes down nicely.

Clean, dark brown colour with amber highlights. The head is small, fizzing away quickly, light beige and leaving a tiny ring around the brew. Toasty malt, bread notes, some caramel and plums. The mouthfeel is quite smooth, slick with not much syrupy-thick action. Drying enough to make it easy to drink. The alcohol is quite well-hidden. Again, in the flavours - dark fruits, roasted malts, some nuttiness and not too rich. Quite an easy-drinking, stronger Scotch Ale that is well-balanced.

Can that pours a brown colour with amber highlights, a frothy beige head, decent retention and some light creamy lacing left. Big maple syrup aromas at first, with some Cognac-alcoholic notes, sugary-brown malts and hints of licorice, herbs. The Imperial Brown ale side comes out nicely in the taste with not too much sweetness. A touch maple, coffee and grassiness. Gets a tad hazy as it pours, and particles are seen floating around. A smooth mouthfeel with a nice drying finish. This is quite a nice stronger version of their Aki no Seishin with the mushroom shinning it maple magic, and the Cognac barrel adding an extra touch.

Clean, slightly lighter golden colour with a frothy white cap, average retention and some mild foamy lacing sliding down the glass. Blood orange is what is felt in the nose, fresh over the wheat (bubble gum) and grassy hops that come out when the glass is swirled. The blood orange is lighter in the taste, but still some good citrus notes over the cereal grain base. Hints of bananas and its tartiness lingering. Gets a touch hazy at last pour. Not a bad wheat ale with the blood orange taking over, and making this more refreshing than wheat alone.

Can that pours a clean golden colour with a frothy-creamy white cap, decent retention and sticky-soapy lacing. Aromas show the alcohol content with some wheat-banana notes, Belgian sugar, medicinal notes and hints of grassy-hops. The flavours are a little better balanced, still showing milder signs of bananas, sugars, alcohoicl-bitterness and some grassiness. Gets a slight hazier as it pours, and some particles looking like spices do appear floating around. A decent Belgian Tripel-style beer, but seems better when drank from the can - as the nose does not pack such in impact, which is not the ultimate. In all fairness, the smell does calm down with time, and blends better together.

Clean, amber colour with a frothy-bubbly beige head, good stay and nice cloudy-spots of lacing. Fresh, darker cereal malt base with a touch of caramel and to balance - good herbal-grassiness. Eventually, light alcohol comes out. The mouthfeel is smooth, not overly carbonated like this style should be, and decent building dryness in the finish. The hops are quite delicious in here, leaving notes of black tea over the caramel malt base. Gets hazy as it pours, and some particles comes around. Quite a nice English IPA with interesting-fresh hops that builds quite a heavy dryness that linger.

Fairly clean, peach-pinkish colour with a fizzy off-white head leaving a little ring around the brew. Real citrus lemon juices, zest showing in the nose with pink grapefruit blending the fruitiness. Hints of cherries in the finish. Again, feels like real fruits in the taste, not syrupy, but zesty, somewhat drying the end. Quite refreshing, fruity - a real good Radler-style beer.

Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 4 | Mouthfeel: 5 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 5

Unfiltered, a little hazy, with tiny, transparent particles floating around. The head is frothy-fizzy, white-orangy, mild stay and minimal lace which fits the style. The grapefruit concentrates are blended with some honey notes, mild grassiness, orange juice and even caramel malts, diacetyl. The taste shows a little more of the citrus with a touch of sourness. With time, it seems more like mango juice than grapefruit purée. The mouthfeel is refreshing, but a tad thick for a radler. Thankfully, the finish is drying. Alright for a Radler, but not as citrusy-juicy as expected.

A very slight haze, light golden colour with a big frothy white cap that lasts quite a while, leaving some thick foamy-soapy lacing. Aromas of spicy malts and fresh herbal notes. The sweet malts come out in the taste, but is nicely balanced by the grassy hops. Light dryness in the finish. A good, easy-drinking Pilsner with good cereal, spiciness and a very nice herbal touch.

A very slight unfiltered golden colour with a frothy-creamy warm off-white head, good retention and lots of sticky lacing. A fresh herbal aromas from the hops over the caramel malt base. The mouthfeel is wet, refreshing with just enough building dryness in the finish. Flavours - again the nice blend of grassy hops over the caramel maltiness, and that nice herbal touch lingering. Quite a nice, easy-drinking American IPA, well-balanced with a decent dry end.

Says imported by the Craft Brand Company in Toronto. A little hazy, golden-orange colour with a huge fluffy-frothy cap, very long lasting and leaving full sticky-soapy lacing. Citrus juices, zest and a herbal touch in the nose. Older can, could feel that can pretty hard, so opened quite quickly, and just a tad gush came out. Same citrus and light grassiness in the taste. A decent juicy IPA, that we have fresher from locals.

Hazy golden-beige with a fluffy-bubbly white cap, good stay and some light soapy lacing is left. Citrus aromas like lemon, orange zest with hints of white grapes. The taste has zesty, lightly-spiced and zinging citrusy notes continuing. A decent building dryness in the finish. The Sauvignon Blanc touches are quite mild in here - wish they were a little stronger. Not bad as a citrus-like, hazy IPA.

A very slight hazed, golden-orange colour with a frothy-bubbly white-orangish head and some spots of lace. The oranges in the nose do have a touch more of candyish-essence found in Orange Crush soda. This continues into the taste, but not as sweet as expected, as not too syrupy. It's like a diluted McDonald's Orange juice, so reminds us of good young times, and but adjusted for our adult ones. A touch sour, but not as much as the Pink Lemonade version I just had, and preferred.

Murky beige-yellow colour with a bubbly-frothy white cap, average stay and a film covering the glass. Getting some candy aromas, but this seems to be a blend of the mild vanilla, with the coconut and pineapples. This gives me hints of cherry candy smell, and with the pistachios-nuttiness, reminds me a bit of Amaretto. The bananas come out a bit more in the taste, with the sweet-fruitiness balancing. The bananas were sticking to the bottom of the can, so really comes out at last pour, and cuts the sweetness. Quite a nice, thick Smoothie Sour with loads of fruits and nuttiness for banana lovers.

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

Hazy, really looking like pink lemonade (not candyish like their Barbe à Papa). The head is frothy, thicker, lasting quite a while, white-pinkish and leaving decent lace spots. The lemonade continues into the smell, with a true juiciness, some mild sourness, hints of rum-alcohol. The taste has a touch more candy-likeness, but nothing like their other candy-beers. Refreshing lemony, sour notes and hints of vanilla. Was not expecting a decent, summer refreshing sour beer like this.

Lightly hazed, bright golden-yellow colour with a frothy-soapy head, lasting a while and leaving some nice foamy lacing. Mild spicy nose with cereal grains, a touch of citrus and lots of herbal notes. The grassiness continues into the taste with a nice smooth bitterness, dryness. Herbal action all around with a tad citrus - all so refreshing. A nicely balanced Pils with cereal malts, spiciness, citrusy and refreshing dryness.
