bouteille brune de 341ml.
bière de belle couleur cuivrée, avec une mousse blanche disparce, nez très malté avec un peu de caramel, en bouche la bière offre une palette fraîche, du malt, un léger goût de caramel. elle se termine sur une finale équilibrée avec une belle amertume. bonne bière.

Hints of carmel with just the right amount of hops. This is an excellent beer.

Appearance: Poured with a finger of head that did lace decently but didn't retain as well as I would have liked. The body is a light crimson top with an amber bottom and notes of brown.
Smell: Has a dry, almost rye bread note to it as dry yeast seems to drown out a bready caramel malt. A slight orange note of citrus hops comes through. Warming helps it out, but only marginally.
Taste: That dry yeast note permeates though the whole beer, but in a good way as it mostly sticks to the background and seems to help contrast the other flavours. Starts with a mild fruitiness, the barest hints of stawberry comes to mind at which point the caramel malt kicks into higher gear delivering a healthy does before a slight nuttiness followed soon by a dose of mild earth and citrus hops.
Mouthfeel: The beer transistioning is a bti of a rougher ride, but a pleasent one as the carbonation helps out the enitre beer. The aftertaste have a bit of a mineral tasting cling to it where the remaining yeast and malt don't quite do enough here, but it's slight.
Drinkability: The beer is light bodied and the carbonation settles down in the right ways. It's a bit of a rare item for me to see a beer that has a dry note to it and pull it off well, which this one does. Didn't take me long at all to get through the bottle.
Final Thoughts: This is my 5th beer from this brewery and I'm starting to notice a trend. It seems their more basic (and more commonly Macro offered) styles are done well and right, but when the get away from that and brew something a bit more esotetic, it doesn't work out so well. Thankfully, this is one of the more basic styles and I enjoyed it. It's not quite a summer drinker, but certainly great on the porch during the spring and fall. Worthy of a whirl.

Copper/red in color with a really small head. Smell of caramel, some sweet malts and some grains too. Subtle taste of caramel and sweet malts, not that much flavors though. Nice carbonation in the mouth.
