On tap at the source.
Deep amber color off white head. Sweet bready caramel malt, hints of earthy hops. Decent brew but still an amber ale.

My Bottom Line:
Toasted and delicately caramelized malts work in unison with citrusy and earthy hops in this slender, polished Pale Ale.
Further Personal Perceptions:
-A slice of foam laces around the misty amber.
-The flavor profile is balanced.
-The finish is well-hopped, with coniferous and floral lengths.
-Mouthfeel is on the dry side, with prickly carbonation.
-If all Amber Ales were of this caliber, theyd probably inherit a cooler name that refers to more than their color...
On tap at the brewpub.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 VT (1795) - Quebec City, Quebec, CANADA - SEP 5, 2013
On tap at brewpub. An almost clear reddish amber with a resilient white head that leaves a beautiful lacing. Aroma is toasty. Flavor is dry, grains, oldish, sandy-earthy, biscuit. Finish is dry, earthy, with hints of citrus. Lingering herbal and earthy bitterness. Medium body, average carbonation. Felt more British than American, but I like nonetheless.

Drank on tap (20 oz) at the brewpub on July 10, 2012. Honey orange, medium head. Aroma of herbs and grapefruit hoppiness very fresh. Similar taste but drier, hints of pine, good bitterness. Very good APA, it would be fabulous on cask, shame that this beer is far away!

In short: A generously hopped (mostly coniferous) and well malted amber ale. Very nice
How: Tap at brewpub
The look: Clear dark golden body topped by a long-lasting medium off-white head
In long: Pleasant hoppy nose that proposes plenty of coniferous slightly citrusy hops with light grassy spicy twist. Taste has a lot of toasted caramelized malts, toasted bread crust, some toasted nuts, plenty of coniferous hops, light spiciness. Bitterness level is in the low-medium range and the finish is pleasantly dry. Appropriate medium carbonation. This is a very well balanced beer (not a hop-bomb) with a good maltiness. Probably the best beer Ive had from a brewery/brewpub in eastern Quebec (not a good beer area in Quebec).. Im wishing the best to this new brewpub, but being a successful true craftbeer brewpub in eastern Quebec will probably be as difficult as being a honest Nigerian businessman trying to make a honest living on the internet.
