A: Strange dark red/orange color with ok tan head. Does not look filtered.
S: Strong butterscotch notes. Some berries, light hops, strong malty smell.
T: Starts with the malty sweetness and butterscotch. Berries kicks in after. A little bit of wood like taste. Then, it finishes with a nice hop aftertaste. Nothing exceptional, nothing to complain too.
M: mid weight. Mid to high carbonation. Very crisp feel to it. Perfect for the style.
D: High, nothing is overpowered, alcohol is low, so it helps.

500 ml bottle.
A- Very dark red. Head OK, leaves some lacing on the beer and glass.
S- Malt and touch of hops. Touch of berries.
T- Nice malty taste with strong roasted barley notes. Not very hopped, but I find this fits the style. Lacks dimension in the malt profile, but is still tasty. The biggest problem is that it has a bit too much burnt taste, especially in the aftertaste which makes it feel halfway between a decent red and a mediocre stout.
MF- Medium bodied. Nothing great, nothing bad.
D- Goes down OK and has some flavor to it.

bouteille brune de 500ml,
bière de couleur rousse très foncée presque brune, mousse dense et épaisse et durable, nez caractéristique de caramel, goût de caramel léger avec un goût désagréable d'aluminium..malheureusement. car elle s'annonçait bonne.

Bottle: Poured a deep cloudy brown color ale with a medium foamy head with some pretty good retention. Aroma of caramel and light toffee is dominating and quite enjoyable. Taste is dominated by sweet caramel malt with a light toffee notes. Body is quite full with some good carbonation. Well done for a style that does produce its lot of boring/bland beers.

Second beer we tried at Pub Le Mitan, the brewpub on beautiful Ile dOrléans.
Every québecois brewery produces a "rousse", a pleasing, flavorful, unobtrusive red ale that is a good session beer. The version made here has the typical clear reddish amber color and ring of foam. Aroma is malty-sweet.
The flavor of this offering is on the sweet side of rousse, lacking a bitter finish that would put it into better balance. There was a smoky, roasted edge that was good, provided some bitterness, but maybe some more hops would help the finish. None of the rousses are especially exciting, and this is not the best I tried, but they are all quite drinkable and this one is no exception.
