4.3 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20 Beardbeerman (282) - Montreal, Quebec, CANADA - DEC 28, 2014
341ml bottle served in a snifter around 6 degrees:
This here is the first product from Microbrasserie Nouvelle-France I come across. Theyre a small microbrewery down at Saint-Alexis-des-Monts, which is about 30 km southwest of Shawinigan.
This ale poured a clear rich ruby robe topped off by about a finger of slightly tanned head midway between frothy and creamy. Retention is at an average level and some lacing does spot the glass. As for carbonation, I did spot some but it wasnt very present.
The nose is very appealing with roasted malts, brown sugar and good herbal hops. Its richness gives the pace to what will hit the tongue. Its nice to have grassy/herbal hops add depth to the aroma.
The flavours are bold and deep with tons of roasted barley malts and slight sweetness. Hops add a nice grassy features to the rest. As for the finish, well thanks to hops its slightly bitter. I dont know about you, but when I take a sip at a Red Ale, I expect boldness and richness and this is exactly what you get with this brew. There is even an instant coffee side to it that surprised me.
Overall, the best way to describe this one is: Richness and depth. Its full-bodied, has all the features of a high quality Red Ale in terms of flavours and aroma and it is far from diluted. I would totally pair this with grilled meats, a nice brisket and strong nutty cheeses.

Couleur rousse aux reflets cuivrés, sans col. Des arômes légers de malt et de résine. Légèrement amère avec un peu dacidité. Légère et mince, elle laisse une courte fin acide et très peu arômatique. Très orfinaire...
2.8 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20 cargo150 (1171) - Quebec City, Quebec, CANADA - JAN 18, 2014
Bière de couleur ambrée sans col très serieux. Nez simple de malt et de caramel. En bouche une ambré très classique très caramélisé. Sans etre une grande bière je trouve que cette bière est sous-évalué, elle est fidèle a son style et se bois très bien!
4.5 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20 Tricker (343) - Quebec, CANADA - APR 23, 2013
Bière brune-rousse de 4.5% dalcool. Elle est limite dêtre couleur marron. Elle ne possède aucun col au versement. Elle possède un odorat sucré, mais on sent un brin de torréfaction. Elle a un goût chocolaté et on goûte bien le houblon. Elle a aussi un goût âcre et comme de sucre brun en finale. Intéressante et même réconfortante. À prendre température pièce.

Bottle - 341ml. Nice amber body with a fair off-white foamy head. Average malty/hoppy aroma with strong caramel hints. Taste is slightly misbalanced. It carries grainy and brown sugar notes and ends with a short bittersweet finish. Boring.

2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20 cfrancis (2760) - Ottawa, Ontario, CANADA - JUN 9, 2011
Pours a garnet reddish with a small light beige head. Aroma is slightly smoke, slight caramel and a little vinegar. Taste is malt and slight caramel with a hint of smoke. But there is an off flavour in there that I cant quite figure out but I dont like it.
