And so my international experience continues. This time, we’re
sampling from the Brewers Unlimited, a very small group of Brewers from Saint-Eustache,
Quebec. There is very little known about this group, but they came highly
recommended on the Western side of the Island of Montreal. I apologize for the
lack of background, but I could not find one person who knew anything about them.
I guess we’re flying blind here. Let’s take a look at the brew, and see what we’ve
gotten ourselves into.
THE BEER:
INDIA PALE ALE
Stout and malt wish. Its rich fruity and floral bouquet is
the product of generous portions of five hops known for their finesse.
THE STATS:
ABV: 6.4%
THE BREWERY:
NO INFORMATION AVAILABLE

THE REVIEW:
I really wish that I had a little more to go on then just a
one line description on the main website. This is where Breweries could take a
lesson in marketing. That said…on to the review. The pour was fine, producing a
nice, thick head. The coloring is copper-like, hinting at some bitterness. As
for the flavor, it was hoppy, but not as hoppy as you might expect from a “classic
IPA”. In fact, it may have been a little understated. Yep, that would be my
general impression of the brew…understated, and underwhelming…. and
unimpressive.
THE RATING:
5.5/10 – unimpressive
