Yummy. Oh, yeah … yummy, all the way. I could end it there – but I won’t. Brasserie Schoune out of Quebec has nailed this maple-beer, so much so that they’ve cleverly inserted the word itself (érable) into the name. And I must say, they have also very cleverly achieved a pure insertion of maple…
“Black IPA” (American Black Ale), Brasserie DunHam
It’s been awhile since a beer really made me go “Hmm … interesting” and then want another long sip. Dunham’s Black IPA, however, is definitely a palette surpriser … and pleaser. Even with the word “black” on the bottle, I was totally surprised at how this beer poured which you can tell from the overly…
“la Messe de Minuit” (Seasonal/Christmas Beer), Les Brasseurs du Temps (BDT)
In homage to the seasons (just passed) here’s a delicious brew that, admittedly, I’m a few weeks late in reviewing. I bought it at BroueHaHa with the best of intentions, but it was a busier season with less imbibing than I forecast … and cross-country ski season has arrived, so hours are in shorter supply. First,…
“Boréale” (IPA) by Brasseurs Du Nord Inc.
In a word, Boréale is “balanced.” Indeed, it’s probably the most balanced IPA I’ve tasted thus far. The first taste is not what I’ve come to expect in an IPA. The carbonation is immediately present – which would make you think, “Wow – too much.” But that’s not the case – sure, there is more…
“Corne du Diable” (IPA), Brasserie Dieu du Ciel!
Delicious! Having said that, it occurs to me that I should start picking some yucky beers to create a bit more of a spectrum in my burgeoning beer annals here. Either that, or I’m as good at picking bottles off a beer shelf as plucking apples from a tree. Now if we could only graft…
My CSA Challenge
From dizzying back to the future ride of the last post, we go back to the future-past: aka the Prequel. This post promises to be sweet … or forecast the sweet experiments that will follow in my CSA Challenge. Alas, after work yesterday, I picked up my last CSA share for the season (small tears…
My CSA Confession
From backstory, I turn to prequel — so for those easily prone to nausea induced by sudden turns, I apologise. But before the prequel, more of the backstory … I mentioned in my last post my introduction to Community Shared Agriculture (CSA). I’ve also heard previous mention of the ‘S’ standing for “Supported” which I…
“L’Interdite” (IPA American) by Les Brasseurs du Monde
Ok, so as luck has it, I had another new (and cold) APA in my fridge this evening and inspired by my blogging of the last 24 hours, I figured, hey, I can do this now. But first, here’s a bit of the backstory to why these beers are in my fridge. First, let me…
Les Trois Mousquetaires “Américaine Pale Ale” (Signature Series)
Yum. My first beer that stylizes itself an “American Pale Ale.” As such, I couldn’t as yet tell you if this is a consistent or representative APA. Certainly there was strong familiarity with its parent, India Pale Ale (IPA), it had a wonderful, hoppy aftertaste so crucial to any good IPA. My first impression provided…
