look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5
Bottle: Poured a yellow color lager with a quite big pure white foamy head with good retention and some good lacing. Aroma of light floral malt with sweet undertones is pretty tames though exclusion of any adjunct notes is welcome. Taste is also a refreshing mix between some light floral notes with a lightly sweet tone and some light dry hops. Again, no adjunct were detected which is quite satisfying. Additional hops presence would have been welcome though still a refreshing drink overall.

Pours a clear golden color with a thick but quickly receding head. No lacing. Hard to detect a distinct aroma other than notes of cereal, Taste is not as sweet (ie no fruit overtones) as it could be perhaps for the style. Mostly malt and grain/cereal. The feel is light tasting and carbonated with an elevated bitter finish. This could have been even better if there were more of a sweet punch.

Not much going on here but an overall decent beer nonetheless.

Can enjoyed from a mason jar at my hotel room in NL. Spirited carbonation gave me trouble pouring. Slightly hazy dark yellow color with a huge bubbly white head. light bready crackery pilsner malt hints of floral hops and a touch of clove that shouldn't be there.

La Brise Du Lac from Microbrasserie Archibald. I bought a 12 mix can for 15,99$

Look: Clear pale yellow golden color, no white head apparent, no lacing either

Smell: Grainy cereals, no that much of a smell here

Taste: Grainy and grassy hops, a touch a orange and citrus (minimal tho) on the back of your tongue.

Feel: Light to medium body. medium carbonation. Very soft, goes down really easily

So overall would I recommend it ? Sure nice beer overall but nothing to WOW, not there best from Archibald.. This beer is more on the conservative side.

SERVICE: Can


A:
Pours a clear pale straw with a middling white head that evaporates to nothing. Poor retention; no lacing. (3.5)

S:
Doesn't smell like much of anything. Cereals, sour alcohol-y smells, paper, grass. (3.25)

T:
Clean and slightly grainy. Grassy hops with the slightest almost-citrus freshness from the yeast. (3.25)

M:
Light-bodied, clean, refreshing. Not much more to it. (3.5)

O:
Decent AAL, kind of shitty pilsner (which is what it says on the can). Or so says I.
This is a clear, clean refreshing, quenching lawnmower beer. No doubt in my mind. It has all the good fizzy effervescence of a macro beer, and the quick clean finish of a Bud, with the same lingering sour-ish throat tinge. Just don't expect it to be something it is not.
This is a drinkable beer for a hot day and would be a good 'treat' beer for anyone who is exclusively an AAL drinker. That is, it tastes the same but a little different and a touch bolder.
Likely won't have again; a good canned beer to take somewhere that doesn't allow glass. (3.5)
