Boréale 25 - Les Brasseurs du Nord (Canada - Quebec - Blainville)

Boréale 25 - Les Brasseurs du Nord (Canada - Quebec - Blainville) 6.1%


A cloudy, light orange colour in a glass. A cedar and floral aroma, a little resiny maybe a little apricot as well and overall very attractive.

The taste is bitter with cedar and resin but also maybe a touch of alcohol. Orange tones, some sweetness and floral touches with an aftertaste of wheat though the body is a bit thin. I would not have expected a hoppy White IPA but this is a tasty and interesting choice for an anniversary beer from Boréale.

A Boréale Pair from Les Brasseurs du Nord (Canada - Quebec - Blainville)

Boréale Dorée 4.8%

A darkish bronze colour in a glass. Roasty, quite sweet and tones of grains, not bitter. A little musty - likely due to hardship experienced by the beer during travel from Quebec to New Brunswick. A slick looking label and cool bottle cap also.

Boréale Blanche 4.2%

Aroma is punchy and floral. Tastes like apricots and also spicy and a little bitter; not overly sweet. Quite a nice white, not very cloudy more of a pale gold in a glass.
