Cascade Plus (Imperial IPA/Double IPA), Brasseurs Illimités

November 27, 2013 by Dale Leave a Comment

Cascade Plus (Imperial IPA/Double IPA) Brasseurs Illimités

Ultimately, I’m here to have experiences and share those experiences with you. So when I was presented the opportunity to take home a beer scoring 111 IBUs – that is international bitter units, the scale used to measure bitterness in beer) — there was no way I could refuse. By all accounts, this was going…

“Magouille” (Pumpkin Ale), Brasseurs Illimités

November 19, 2013 by Dale Leave a Comment

Drinking a seasonal beer is a bit like going for a swim in waters where sharks have been seen. That’s not to say you’re going to lose a limb, but you’re always worried you’re going feel a nibble on your big toe just before it happens. Perhaps Jaws made a big impression in my childhood…

“India Pale Ale” (American IPA), Microbrasserie La Chouape

January 27, 2013 by Dale Leave a Comment

Sooner or later, we were going to have to tackle the question of what the heck is sur lie (which translates as “on the lees” in English). You’ve undoubtedly seen in as I have on some European labels and it is an even more common description on the labels of Quebec beers. So, what does it…

“Cascade India Pale Americaine” (American Pale Ale), Brasseurs Illimités

January 23, 2013 by Dale 2 Comments

“Cascade India Pale Americaine” (American Pale Ale), Brasseurs Illimités

An interesting tale of two beers, same family, same brewery, but very different. Right from the pour, the differences sprang (see previous post “IPA Classique”). Cascade is as pure a filtered beer as you’ll see and it fills the glass with a deep, reddish brown … almost a dark “apple juice” in colour. The carbonation…

“IPA Classique” (India Pale Ale), Brasseurs Illimités

January 22, 2013 by Dale Leave a Comment

Here’s a very good brewery from Quebec that has provided a number of interpretations on the “pale ale” and this is but one of their half-dozen creations. As such, it seemed right to start with their “Classique.” A first taste reveals a ton of carbonation which was only accented more by how relatively little carbonation…
