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)
