Pours light gold color with strong head which retains itself fairly well. Elevated carbonated pilsner with citrus (lemon) sweet malt and floral hop overtones in aroma and taste. Light and crisp. Overall enjoyed this beer.

 

 

La Pitoune pours whitish gold with good head and medium carbonation. The smell is a blend of oats, wheat and dewy flowers. The first taste consists of leafy herbals, fresh cut grass (mostly herbaceous) and potent floral notes. Going out on a limb here and saying maybe also some seawater & tree bark? La Pitoune finishes with a lingering of cooked barley and some underlying notes of dry malt.

Hazy gold color. Moderate head which settles to rim bubbles and leaves only a couple of spots.

Grainy with the palest of malts. Oddly, I also pick up on the alcohol presence in the nose.

High carbonation with thin body. Strong grainy flavor but it doesn't cross over into macro category. The hop is more pronounced than most pilsners but it still remains firmly within expectations.

 

 

Received 600 ml bottle of this as a Xmas gift....pours medium hazy yellow - big head with lots of fizz, but it disappeared quickly. A nice fruity smell..... tastes a bit of spice...it's body is light to medium.....has a clean bitter finish but also a bit of sourness - but in a nice subtle way that makes you want another sip. A very refreshing balanced beer.

This doesn't seem like a German Pilsner at all to me though....

Very light, great summer beer. Very nice carbonation and peristent head.

 

 

 

From a 600ml bottle, dated 21 01 16. Served in a nonic. Yes, I should have used a stange but I didn't so sue me.

Pours a hazy champagne or straw colour with a billowing crown of rocky, snow-white suds. Very good retention followed by persistent islets of foamy scum and clumps of suds hanging off the glass.

Smell is bright and flowery, grassy, with lemon and clean, crackery malt.

Taste follows the nose, sweet crackers overlaid with bitter lemon, flowers and sharp spices, green apple, wet grain and citrus zest. A little sweet, a little tart.

Mouthfeel is sharp and clean, dry, light-bodied and more than amply carbonated.

Overall... well, overall I hope I'm rating the right beer because there's nothing on the label that would indicate that I'm drinking a kölsh and, frankly, that wouldn't have been my first guess. But, anyway, it's yeasty, bright, light, crisp and accessible. I spent the morning thinking about doing yardwork and even though, in the end, I just sort of sat around drinking beer, this would have been an eminently suitable reward had I actually accomplished a damn thing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pint on tap at Beer Revolution in Calgary. A pale lemon yellow with a single finger of creamy bright white head. Aroma recalls breakfast cereal, lemon rind, fresh grass, and a vitamin tablet-like yeastiness. Ditto on the palate. This is a robust kolsch, with a mildly toasted grain backbone, a vibrant grassy hoppiness (more than is typical for the style), and the aforementioned fresh yeast note thanks to a lack of filtering. Hints of green apple and lemon. Body rather thicker than expected, with moderate to high carbonation. Finishes rather dry and floral. Some of these Quebec breweries do great takes on German styles (oddly enough), and this is no exception. Nice patio beer.

 

 

 

Mild clarity. Hazy golden color. Sweet bready malt aroma, some green apple ester. Somewhat fruity taste (Green apple/pear). Earthy/noble hops in mediocre and balanced well. Sweet pils profile. Highly drinkable.

 

 

 

 

 

 

On tap and bottle. Rating for draught version. Golden body with creamy white head. Aroma is cereal, noble hops and lemon. Taste has a light tartness balanced with hop bitterness and rich cereal notes. This is a very simple beer yet perfectly executed and so drinkable. One of my favorite light beer in Québec aside from l'Amère à Boire and Albion's concoctions.
