Poor from a 341ml bottle.
A: Blonde, so I asume that the beer is flavor with rapsberry essence and not real fruit.
S: The smell is of sour rapsberry.
T: Like the smell, it's sour rapsberry. It's also bitter, ut not a good kind of bitter.
Overall: Not a succes for me. The sourness of the beer is no good.

My first from Le Grimoire. I bought every Quebec-brewed raspberry beer I could find for a framboise tasting to put alongside a friend's homebrew of the same style...bad idea, even just for fun. The bottle has a dating option along the side but like a few other Quebec breweries, chooses not to make use of i; so no idea when this was brewed.The bottle seems to have a picture of a porn star; not sure what the purpose of that would be.
Pours a surprisingly light blond colour where I would have expected a red tinge from the raspberries. If fresh raspberries were used at all here, there probably weren't too many. Thin cover of bright-white head.
The nose is strange, especially it's absence of almost any raspberry scent. Weak pale malt, possible noble hops, odd funkiness and some strange chemicals. Really not too pleasant.
The flavour sticks pretty close to the nose: very light malt (definitely under-malted) with extremely drying hops and weird chemical character along wiith a puckering raspberry tartness; the only sign of raspberries showing as past of this beer.
Feel is thin and overcarbonated.
This pint bottle cost $5! If you're going to brew a failure of a raspberry beer that's fine, just don't bottle it for the public and then decide that they should be paying $5 for a bottle! This was my first offering from Le Grimoire but based on this I will never be buying any of their products. How could a brewer taste this stuff and think it's worth $5 a bottle? It's not even worth my arm strength to tip it over the sink for a drain pour. I would have just left it sit to evaporate if it wasn't in my good beer glass.

brown bottle, 500ml. nice label
4,39$ at dépanneur grand duc
A: cloudy, blonde-golden beer, creamy big head,
S: sour nose, we're looking for fruit
T: sour taste, raspberry unreconnising,
M: medium bodied
D: one is more than enough
Le grimoire is far from the being the best brewer in quebec. this beer as an advantage on the other is that it's not contaminated from wild yeast.

Bottle: Poured a clear golden color ale with a medium size foamy head with average retention and no lacing. Aroma consists of strong fake syrupy raspberry. Taste is also dominated by this fake raspberry syrup with some sweet and almost cloying notes. It is really unclear to me what the market that they are trying to penetrate is - I never though there was a large portion of the population that was ready to pay for some overpriced fake fruit based beer.
