La Milnueve

"Clear pale amber with a gentle foam. Lots of bready and toasty malt on the nose and the palate. Clean and complex malt notes with a low hoppiness, fine balance and complexity. Smooth, long, malty and sweet, pleasant finish. Clean and very refreshing."

Double Blonde
Canada
"Medium deep gold and very hazy, big head with lacing, fluffy upon agitation. Aroma notes of lemon drops and fresh lager yeast. Low-medium carbonation. Low-medium hop bitterness with a touch of fruity flavour notes. Medium-full body, a touch of sweetness and alcohol heat. On the palate, it is mostly sweet, honey-ish malt with little complexity. The top note on this beer is simply rising bread dough. Behind that a little pomme fruit ester and just the tiniest hint of stone fruit. Complexity emerges on the palate with a significant concentration of caramel malt character and a spicy hop note. Revisiting for a second sip you begin to get dried grasses and wild flowers. Finishes off-dry."

"A deep golden beer with crystal clarity and a creamy white head. Nose reveals honey, bread crust, and floral hops. Flavour blends malt sweetness with herbal spice and balanced bitterness. Full body, smooth carbonation, finishing warming, round, and slightly sweet with a lingering tang."
