    It's a very good beer. Was only able to snag one. It's to the point that i need a connection myself to get some TDD. They just released Dulcis & bourbon-aged Imperatrice (wait a good year on this one if you have it) and it sold out in a day! Being low on funds coupled with the fact that i don't live in Montreal means i didn't have a shot. Hopefully their new bottling plant will expand distribution once it's up and running. :grinning:

    Its listed on BA as a Weizenbock. A friend tells me bottles are going to be available at Premier Wines in Halifax. A lot easier for me to get to than having to fly to Shawinigan.

    It's a weizen, but with american hops, so it taste like a white IPA. Pretty interesting!

    It is a 7%ish wheat beer (weizen) and they claim it is their tribute to Schnieder Hopfen-Weisse.
