L'Amère à Boire

Last rated 11Sep2018. It's quite bitter & I prefer some of their other lagers. I've spent a few sessions drinking there and always enjoy it!

Can: Poured a clear light amber color lager with a large off-white foamy head with good retention and some light lacing. Aroma of cereal notes with some dry hops notes is enticing. Taste is also a good mix of clean cereal notes with light caramelization with some dry hops notes with some floral notes. Body is about average for style with good carbonation. Solid pilsner with nice hops presence.

 

 

 

The beer comes in a rich golden color, slightly hazy from chill.

The aroma offers biscuity malt sweet, grassy floral grains, slight butter. A touch fruity.

The flavor has grassy hops, grains, slightly bready, longing zesty bitterness. Lingering bitterness. Medium plus mouthfeel. Creamy soft mouthfeel.

A surprisingly well done traditional pilsner from Montreal.

 

Looks light copper in the glass with a decent-sized white head that eventually drops to a film with good pick up. Concentric rings of lacing, very pretty. In general this beer has a grassy European hop presence. The aroma is mainly this with some soapiness. The flavor is a tiny bit biting, but aside from that is easy-drinking, enjoyable and clean. The finish is the same, in fact the whole beer should get extra points just for being really true to what a lager should be. Tasty, simple, together, clean, drinkable. Great beer for a hot day or to have two or three of. Would have again.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The head is off white and foamy. Settles slowly but finishes as a ring of bubbles. Ring lace and then it becomes spotty.

Mild aroma but it is well balanced. A bit of raw grain to the nose.

Very full bodied for the style. Good caramel start but the tale of this beer is the strong bitter hop finish. The aftertaste is more balanced. Smooth with the low carbonation.
