The label describes the beer as riche et désaltérante misant sur un houblonnage typiquement américain basé sur le houbeau cascade spécialement aromatique, très citronné, très agrume; puissant et rafraichissant.
Translation: Rich and Refreshing IPA with a typically American hop based on Cascade hops. It is especially aromatic, citrusy, spicy (fruits), powerful and refreshing.
The description makes my mouth water. Let's check er out!
Appearance: Uh oh, foaming like crazy as soon as I pour it in the glass. Okay, now it's gone down. It's a nice brown colour with a bit of a grapefruit hue. Foam is quite yellow-creamy, much more yellow than most IPAs I've seen so far. Looks like a decent IPA to me.
Aroma: Citrusy hops is the overall smell, I smell grapefruit, good abundance of hops, and a bit of banana. Wow, that's a bit of a surprise
Taste: I was expecting more of a Half Pints' kind of IPA, a solid very citrusy IPA. This one is more of a bitter IPA, very hoppy inded, but not much of citrus. Toasty malts. It has a bit of a cardboard taste which is a bit weird, as well as a slight hint of caramel. If you are a fan of IPAs that generally prefers a citrusy IPA, this is not it. Much more bitter than I was expecting.
Overall Thoughts: A bitter hoppy IPA. Not a bad one, but compared to Half Pints', I'd have to stick with my Half Pints. It's something I would drink if I was in Quebec, but I wouldn't go out of my way to buy. It has an IBU of 66 and ABV of 6.4%, so a bit of warmth as you drink it. On the side of the bottle, it has information about the beer, how to serve the beer, at what temperature (10-12C) and what it's best drank for.

Where'd you pick this one up?
I got it through a trade a while back. I heard that this brewery MAY be one of the brands that's going to make its way to MB soon, but I doubt it.. I'm still waiting on Dieu du Ciel.
