Cuivrée Au Thé
La Barberie

Actual tea flavour comes through nicely. A dry but full bodied taste, without being too sweet. Nice!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bottle from Sherbrooke. This beer should be filtered. It does not do itself any favours by having big floaties in the pour. An orangey coloured body, a light fizzing white head. Neutral to slightly fruity aroma. The taste is a slightly astringent fruit. A herbal fruit tea, but this beer is not too drinkable.

Bottle: Poured a clear copper color ale with a medium size foamy head with OK retention and not much lacing. Aroma of tea is OK with some unrefined grainy taste and weird yeast profile. Taste is again dominated by an average tea profile with some notes of unrefined grain and not much else. Body is about average with good carbonation. I am tasted a lot worse form this brewer but this is still not very inetersting.

A new seasonal beer from La Barberie.

The color is copper and it is slightly veiled. No head at all except for a very thin foamy film on top. Very effervescent however. La Barberie is known for its very effervescent bottled beers. Not always pleasant.

The aroma is pretty simple: citrus fruits with also notes of tea. No hops and I get no malts too.

The taste is fruity (again those citrus fruits) and tea. Very refreshing. Well balanced for a fruity beer. The only bad thing is the carbonation which hurts the mouthfeel of the beer. Quite drinkable. I would see this one as a summer seasonal instead of autumn.

This beer appears a clear medium golden orange colour, with a little thin soapy white head, which leaves a speck of lace as it recedes. It smells of light biscuity malt, and steeping black tea. It tastes like soft bready white grain, black tea tannins, and mild earthy hops. The carbonation is very soft, the body smooth, and it finishes dry and mealy.

A good integration of tea as an ingredient, the different biittering components do work well enough together.

Poured a deep copper with a filmy white head. Fruity, orange pekoe aroma, unlike anything I've smelled before. the aroma screams tea. The taste also does the same - its really a combo I didn't think would work well, but the slight floral fruitiness of the tea pairs wonderfully with the malts and hops. Carbonation is next to non-existent, but would probably ruin this drink. Wow, this was a pleasant surprise.
