  • Boombox | 5e Baron

    Boombox | 5e Baron

    Score: 77/100 – Good

    Appearance 4/6

    The beer pours a hazy gold with a moderately tall, frothy, off-white head. Good foam retention. A good looking hazyboi even if the end of the pour introduces visible particles in the glass.

    Aroma 17/24

    Medium-strong intensity with balance towards hops. The aroma is fragrant, fruity, and somewhat sharp.

    American hop character dominates with some fresh yeast (almost cheesy but not quite) popping up here and there. Some signs of yeast stress. Low pale malt at the back and a splash of alcohol. Overall good aroma.

    Flavour 33/40

    Strong intensity with good balance and assertive perceived bitterness.

    The flavour highlights American hop notes with a splash of alcohol, supportive pale malt, and mild esters. Some saltiness comes through as well.

    Mouthfeel 9/10

    Medium body with moderate carbonation. The mouthfeel is crisp yet mouth-coating with restrained alcohol warming and an off-dry finish. No astringency or harshness on the palate even if the impact is heavy. Excellent.

    Overall 14/20

    Overall, 5e Baron’s Boombox is a good DIPA with plenty of flavour and decent drinkability.

    There are issues across the board with visible particles making it into the glass, the aroma having a fresh yeast character, and the flavour featuring too much salt. With so much competition in the category, I’d likely pick another DIPA to quench my thirst for hops.

    Hadrien DDH | Brasserie du Bas-Canada

    Score: 88/100 – Very Good

    From a 473ml can served cool at 9 degrees Celsius into a TeKu glass. Canned on 07/09/2023 – making this about 5 weeks old.

    I snagged the beer from a local specialty store about 2 weeks ago. I wasn’t sure if I’d make the time to review the beer but after hearing some of the feedback on how good it is… I decided to line up a Bas-Canada breview.

    My recent experience with the brewery has been ok – I’ve been trying to steer away from every new release as I find the value is not always there. As much as I’m drawn to trendy hazybois, they tend to get monotonous. “Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.”

    Appearance 6/6

    The beer pours an opaque pale gold with 4.5cm of dense, creamy, off-white head which dissipates into a craggy cap within 4+ minutes. Exceptional lacing with great head retention.

    Aroma 24/24

    Strong intensity with good balance. The aroma is intense, hop-forward, and extremely enticing.

    Pronounced citrus (grapefruit + tangerines) and noticeable woody pine take center stage while gentler tropical sweetness (pineapple + mango) add depth and round out any sharpness. Peachy notes and mild floral tones add layers with low crackery malt fighting for airtime. No apparent alcohol or off-notes.

    The dry nose is somewhat pungent and citrus-forward with notes of lime, pine, and low crackery malt. World-class.

    Flavour 36/40

    Follows the aroma with strong intensity, good balance, and pronounced perceived bitterness.

    The juicy palate opens up with pronounced citrus (grapefruit + tangerines), stone fruit (peach), pine, and a touch of salt making way for a sharper center where the woody component dials up including some grassy tones and noticeable minerality. The citrus remains while very little – if any – tropical character shows up.

    The long finish is strong and bitter-ish with notes of pine, grapefruit rind, a bit of grass, and low crackery malt. Tasty stuff.

    Mouthfeel 6/10

    Full body with medium-low carbonation. The mouthfeel is creamy, thick, and mouth-coating with restrained alcohol warming and an off-dry finish. Moderate hop-derived astringency with some harshness on the palate. Heavy impact.

    Overall 16/20

    Brasserie Bas-Canada’s Hadrien DDH is a great beer.

    A good-looking hazyboi with excellent foam quality and no ugly murkiness. The wonderful aroma features plenty of layers and character provoking one to take a sip. On the palate, the beer drops out a little bit by lacking the suggested sweetness of the nose while introducing sharper characteristics and hop-burn. The mouthfeel is pleasantly full, but it also diminishes the drinkability by introducing too much hop-derived astringency.

    Overall, Hadrien DDH is a beer worth trying. It starts out incredibly strong with good looks and enticing aroma. It slightly misses the mark on the palate by being unable to match the aromatics while lacking drinkability. Having said that, this is a tasty brew worth picking up when you see it.

  • Double Descente | Boréale

    Double Descente | Boréale

    Score: 95/100 – Outstanding

    From a 473ml can served cool at 8 degrees Celsius into a TeKu glass. Canned on 2023 SE 28 – making this about two weeks young.

    I picked up the beer from a local grocery store a few days back. I’m a big fan of Boréale brews: they’re flavourful, balanced, and well-executed. I’m hoping Double Descente doesn’t disappoint :)

    Appearance 6/6

    The beer pours a hazy deep gold with 4cm of dense, creamy, off-white head which dissipates into a thick cap within 4+ minutes. Exceptional lacing with great head retention.

    Aroma 23/24

    Medium-strong intensity with good balance. The aroma is layered and powerful with explicit focus on hops.

    Tremendous complexity with notes of citrus (lime + blood orange), ripe tropical fruit (papaya + lychee + mango), melon, and pine. Mild herbs and a touch of perfumy alcohol with low supporting crackery malt.

    The dry nose is citrusy-tropical with mild crackery malt-sweetness. Very enticing – a near perfect aroma.

    Flavour 38/40

    Follows the aroma with strong intensity, great balance, and moderate perceived bitterness.

    The intense palate slaps you in the face with citrus (lime + blood orange), pine, melon, and ripe tropical fruit (papaya + lychee + mango) making way for an impressive center where the complex fruitiness marries herbs, pine, and alcohol all the while a bready-crackery malt plays a supporting role.

    The long finish is strong and balanced with notes of citrus (lime zest + grapefruit skin), low melon, mild alcohol, pine, water crackers, and lychee. Yum!

    Mouthfeel 10/10

    Full body with moderate carbonation. The mouthfeel is creamy yet crisp and mouth-coating with restrained alcohol warming and an off-dry finish. A tiny bit of hop-derived astringency with no actual harshness on the palate. Glorious.

    Overall 18/20

    Boréale’s Double Descente is an exceptional hazy DIPA well worth picking up.

    An attractive beer with an outstanding foam quality. A zestful, complex aroma captivates the senses and follows through the intense, delightful palate. Regardless of the abundance of character, the beer remains very drinkable. The mouthfeel is plush and full yet finishing on the dry side – perfectly complimenting the beer’s intensity without diminishing drinkability.

    Double Descente demonstrates excellent craftsmanship, great balance, and an overall superb drinking experience. I couldn’t ask for more. An intangible touch of magic would nudge it in the top 1%. Highly recommended – maybe I’ll grab some more for the fridge before it’s gone.

    Espèce | Brasserie du Bas-Canada

    Score: 87/100 – Very Good

    From a 473ml can served cool at 9 degrees Celsius into a TeKu glass. Canned on 13/01/2023 – making this just over a week young.

    I picked up the can from a local specialty store a few days ago along with a handful of other trendy IPAs.

    Another Bas-Canada hazy IPA added to the list. I’ve had this beer once before and I really liked it. Truth be told, when I picked up the can, I forgot about my previous date with Espèce. At least now we get to have an in-depth look at it.

    Appearance 4/6

    The beer pours a murky pale gold (greenish tint) with 4cm of dense, creamy, off-white head which dissipates into a craggy cap within 4+ minutes. Exceptional lacing with great head retention. I don’t love the hue and the degree of opaqueness.

    Aroma 24/24

    Strong intensity with great balance. The aroma is punchy and powerfully hop-forward.

    Big ripe tropical fruit (mango) and citrus (grapefruit) character lead the way. Woody pine, mild herbs, and noticeable aniseed quality add layers and help with balance. Mild crackery malt rounds out any edges.

    The dry nose is strong and hoppy with notes of citrus, pine, grain, a hint of spice (aniseed), and mild sweaty tones.

    Flavour 35/40

    Follows the aroma with strong intensity, great balance, and pronounced perceived bitterness.

    The vibrant palate opens up with salted citrus rind and juicy mango sweetness – making way for a sharper center where woody pine and mild herbal/grassy tones along with mild aniseed spice join the tropical-citrusy vibes. A pinch of salt and very low crackery malt at the back.

    The long finish is strong and sharp-ish with notes of grapefruit pith, mild grass, a bit of pine, aniseed, aspirin, and low crackery malt.

    Mouthfeel 8/10

    Full body with moderate carbonation. The mouthfeel is crisp yet creamy and mouth-coating with restrained alcohol warming and a medium-dry finish. There’s a moderate hop-derived astringency but it still misses the mark of turning acrid on the palate.

    Overall 16/20

    Brasserie Bas-Canada’s Espèce is a great hazy DIPA.

    The appearance is not my favourite; it has that milky quality and a green-ish tint that just doesn’t sit right with me. Outstanding foam quality. Superb aroma – tremendously vibrant with intense fruitiness. The palate follows with massive character but it fails to reach perfection. There’s too much salt, shades of crushed aspirin, and grassy tones that take away from the drinking experience. The mouthfeel starts off rich and creamy, packing quite a bit of impact. However, with gained temperature, the astringency bumps up and diminishes drinkability too much.

    Overall, Bas-Canada’s Espèce is a beer worth trying if you’re into hazy IPAs. The sheer amount of hop-flavour is commendable, but the beer lacks finesse and drinkability and is certainly not part of the brewery’s best.

    Machina | Brasserie du Bas-Canada

    Score: 88/100 – Great

    From a 473ml can served cool at 8 degrees Celsius into a TeKu glass. Canned on 22/12/22 – making this about two weeks young.

    This can comes from a local specialty store which I picked up just a few days ago. I’m always happy to review Bas-Canada’s beers even if I’ve been trying to move away from trendy IPAs. My expectations are high – no surprise given the brewery.

    Appearance 6/6

    The beer pours an opaque gold with 4cm of dense, creamy, off-white head which dissipates into a craggy cap within 5+ minutes. Exceptional lacing and head retention. I miss clear beer.

    Aroma 22/24

    Strong intensity with good balance. The aroma is intensily hoppy featuring a New World flair.

    Sharp citrus (grapefruit + lime) and significant pungency (tropical and vegetal at the same time) dominate the nose. Notable pine and mild aniseed spice add layers. Mild mango sweetness and very low crackery malt at the back. A hint of perfumy alcohol and some floral tones.

    The dry nose is strong and hop-forward with citrus, catty notes, and mild vegetal tones (hmm…).

    Flavour 36/40

    Follows the aroma with strong intensity, sharp-ish balance, and pronounced perceived bitterness.

    The juicy palate opens up with ripe mango sweetness and significant grapefruit and tangerine character with a sprinkle of salt. The center remains juicy and citrus-focused but it also takes on a lot more woody pine, indistinct herbs, and aniseed spice. Mild alcohol note, low grassiness, and crackery malt remain in the sidelines.

    The long finish is strong and sharp-ish with notes of grapefruit peel, pine, mild grass, low aniseed, and a little bit of crackery malt.

    Mouthfeel 8/10

    Full body with moderate carbonation. The mouthfeel is creamy yet crisp with a mouth-coating quality and mild sharpness. The alcohol warming is restrained and the finish is off-dry. Mild hop-derived astringency. Overall no harsh qualities on the palate but the beer has an edge.

    Overall 16/20

    Bas-Canada’s Machina is a great beer.

    The appearance is very good (ya know, for a hazyboi) with exceptional foam attributes. Once the beer warms a bit, a pungent aroma filled with New World hop character leaps out of the glass. The palate follows with intense hop-flavour and somewhat sharp characteristics. Mouthfeel-wise, this lacks the soft, plushy vibe that all of the brewery’s best IPAs have. There’s significant viscosity and only a mild astringency – yet, my palate is overwhelmed and the drinkability ends up lacking. Maybe it’s the hop selection, maybe it’s something else.

    In any case, Bas-Canada’s Machina is a hazy DIPA worth trying. Given my preference for high value beer – I probably wouldn’t buy more of this given the high price. For the first-timers and people with enough disposable income, don’t hesitate.

    Shit, I just realized BreWskey’s Cepage Argentin was supposed to be the next breview on my list! Well, that’s next.

    Evolution D.T.C | Wood Brothers Brewing Co.

    Score: 71/100 – Average

    From a 473ml can served cool at 7 degrees Celsius into a TeKu glass. Canned on 2022-06-09 – making this over 4 weeks old. I got the can from a friend who sourced it directly from the brewery.

    Another Wood Brothers review – fingers crossed this one stands out as their Double Dream Vol.02 was surprisingly average.

    Appearance 4/6

    The beer pours an opaque gold with 2.5cm of puffy, thin-ish, off-white head which dissipates into a partial film within 1+ minutes. Poor lacing with fair head retention. Good but not great.

    Aroma 18/24

    Medium-strong intensity with good balance. The aroma is pungent, dank, and citrus-forward.

    Pronounced dankness with vegetal tones and moderate cannabis character along with prominent sweet oranges. Notable pine and a mild anise spiciness. Ample tropical fruit mostly reminiscent of ripe mango as well as mild grassiness.

    The dry nose is a bit yeasty with nuanced fruit and a hint of water crackers. Quite complex yet not complete.

    Flavour 26/40

    Strong intensity with good balance and pronounced perceived bitterness.

    The intense palate opens up with salted citrus and big tropical fruit (mango) sweetness along with mild woodiness and spice (anise) making way for a sharp center with notes of anise, pine, lime juice, mango, grass, minerals, and low cereal grain.

    The medium-length finish is strong and bitter with notes of citrus rind, salt, pine, grass, and a spicy edge. This is rough.

    Mouthfeel 8/10

    Full body with moderate carbonation. The mouthfeel is quite thick with good creaminess and a slight crispness. Restrained alcohol warming and an off-dry finish. Medium-low hop-derived astringency with mild harshness on the palate. Good but not great.

    Overall 15/20

    Wood Brothers Brewing’s Evolution D.T.C is an average hazy DIPA.

    The appearance is lacking in the foam characteristics with thin-ish structure and so so retention. Any clarity would improve the looks but unfortunately it’s not really part of the style. Aroma-wise the beer has some intriguing layers and moderate off-kilter vibes but it doesn’t captivate my senses. I wish there was just a bit more oomph for the nose. On the palate, the flavour amps up but without restraint; flirting with harshness. Finally, the mouthfeel has pleasant creamy weight to it, but noticeable hop burn chimes in and hinders the drinkability while leaving the palate saturated and unprepared for another sip.

    I really want to like this, but at this price point I want an exceptional beer and unfortunately Evolution D.T.C doesn’t fit that bill. Maybe this is all due to a month in can… maybe not.

    I suppose this a reminder for myself that I’m just not onboard with the trendy IPAs as I often find them harsh, overdone, and lacking in value. I need to check myself before stocking up on them. Having said that, I know there are some truly exceptional brews to be had within the style. And truthfully, they’re incredibly difficult to find.

    This might be my first official Wood Brothers review even though I’ve enjoyed their beers before. I’m excited to add these guys to the ongoing breview list.

    Appearance 2/6

    The beer pours a murky, opaque, greenish-orange with 1cm of frothy, light tan head which dissipates into a partial film within 1+ minutes. Great lacing with fair head retention. At least there are no chunks!

    Aroma 12/24

    Medium intensity with good balance. The aroma is fruit-forward and rather muted.

    Notes of pungent tropical fruit and citrus (lime + grapefruit) with a hint of grass and noticeable alcohol. A touch of melon and mild cereal grain at the back. I guess there’s some woodsy (pine) tones as well.

    The dry nose is light and citrusy with mild graininess at the back. I’m surprised how little character leaps out of the glass.

    Flavour 28/40

    Strong intensity with decent balance and pronounced perceived bitterness.

    The intense palate opens up with loads of citrus, a dash of salt, and noticeable alcohol. The center remains citrusy (lime + grapefruit + tangerines), somewhat woody (pine), and boozy while adding low tones of tropical fruit and mild supportive grain.

    The long finish is strong and bitter-ish with notes of grapefruit zest, pine, low lime, alcohol, and mild cereal grain.

    Mouthfeel 8/10

    Full body with moderate carbonation. The mouthfeel is thick and creamy with restrained alcohol warming and a medium-dry finish. Low hop-derived astringency with no actual harshness on the palate.

    Overall 12/20

    Wood Brothers Brewing Co’s Double Dream Vol.02 is an average hazy DIPA.

    First of all, the appearance is unappealing; the beer is murky, lacking in foam, and has an ugly green shade to it. The aroma fails to live up to expectations with surprisingly restrained character. Every now and then I come by a brew that forces me to stop trusting my senses. I have to go and smell a whole bunch of other things just to make sure something didn’t happen to my sense of smell. After pillows, candles, hands, lipbalm, lime water, and armpits, I decided that my smell is fine, it’s the beer that’s lacking. Unfortunately, the palate is not a whole lot better… it’s kind of rustic, limited in depth, and showing the alcohol too much. At least the mouthfeel is good – even if it doesn’t get full marks due to finishing slightly sweet and having a bit of edgy astringency to it.

    Honestly, I’m very surprised how flat this beer falls. Just the other day I had an outstanding IPA from Wood Brothers with a May date on it. It’s hard to say what happened here, but it seems like the beer simply didn’t stand up against age. It’s worth noting that typically I wouldn’t write about a hoppy beer after a month from canning but I thought this time could be different.

    Nevertheless, this doesn’t change much about the way I feel for these talented brewers. Wood Brothers remains a relevant voice in the Canadian craft beer scene and I’m looking forward to my next pint by them.

    Score: 89/100 – Great

    From a 473ml can served cool at 9 degrees Celsius into a TeKu glass. The date code is illegible… with a best guess of October 2020 something…

    I picked up this beer from Brou Ha Ha less than two weeks ago. Noctem is keeping up a trend of excellence and with that in mind, my expectations for Pachacamac are high.

    Appearance 6/6

    The beer pours an opaque gold with 4.5cm of somewhat thin, puffy, white head which dissipates into a craggy cap within 2+ minutes. Good lacing with decent head retention.

    Aroma 21/24

    Strong intensity with good balance. The aroma is powerful and unapologetically hoppy.

    Ripe tropical fruit (mango + papaya) with mild melon and a squeeze of citrus are combined well with moderate herbal notes, a smack of pine, low vegetal dankness, and a splash of alcohol. A lick of spice at the back.

    The dry nose is mostly tropical with a hint of citrus and some lightly toasted grain.

    Flavour 35/40

    Follows the aroma with strong intensity, good balance, and pronounced perceived bitterness.

    The lush palate opens up with ripe tropical fruit and pine needles making way for a hefty center where an intriguing combination of anise, celery, and grapefruit slice through a significant tropical sweetness and melon. Additional herbaceous and spicy overtones add complexity.

    The long finish is strong and quite balanced with notes of passion fruit, tangerines, melon, pine, and crackery pale malt

    Mouthfeel 10/10

    Medium-full body with moderate carbonation. The mouthfeel is quite creamy with a bit of crispness, noticeable alcohol warmth and a medium-dry finish. No astringency or harshness on the palate but this one can be felt.

    Overall 17/20

    Noctem Artisans Brasseurs‘ Pachacamac is another excellent beer from the brewery.

    The appearance is more than acceptable while ticking all the boxes. However the head could use some more density and retention. Pungent, substantially hoppy aroma is followed through the palate with burly hop character while a low malt-sweetness supports the humulus. The mouthfeel carries some real weight behind it without being overtly heavy.

    Pachacamac is an excellent DIPA and yet it doesn’t stand out. I think it’s just as good as Oskar HMS Cossack except with a lower drinkability. I was hoping to have my mind blown, but it didn’t happen. Still, this is a beer worth picking up and I would certainly drink it again. Cheers!

    I picked up the beer straight from the brewery just over a week ago.

    We’re back to IPA’s from yesterday’s stout – given the breweries involved in this beer, my expectations are high.

    Appearance 6/6

    The beer pours a hazy pale gold with 4.5cm of moderately dense, creamy, white head which dissipates into a solid cap within 3+ minutes. Great lacing with good head retention. Excellent.

    Aroma 22/24

    Medium-strong intensity with great balance. The aroma is layered and restrained with a beautiful hop-character.

    Sweet orange and gooseberries at the front provide a gentle sweetness and a sense of intrigue which is cut by mild lemon and resin. Moderate peachy quality and low passion fruit add complexity. No grassy notes.

    The dry nose is light with a fruity elegance. Exquisite.

    Flavour 38/40

    Strong intensity with great balance and moderate perceived bitterness.

    The juicy palate opens up with notes of sweet orange, gooseberries, and peaches making way for a delicious center where a subtle citrusy bite, juicy stone fruit, low woody hops, white grapes, and a dash of minerals come together harmoniously.

    The medium-length finish is balanced and of moderate strength with notes of sweet orange, peaches, hints of lime, low minerals, and grainy-crackery malt. Exceptional.

    Mouthfeel 10/10

    Medium-full body with moderate carbonation. The mouthfeel is creamy yet crisp with restrained alcohol warming and an off-dry finish. Very mild hop-derived astringency with no actual harshness on the palate. Excellent.

    Overall 19/20

    5e Baron and Brasserie Bas-Canada’s collaboration Quelque Chose Dans L’eau? is a world-class NEIPA.

    The appearance really stands out with substantial haze through which light can pass creating a beautiful shine. The aroma is nuanced and intriguing and the palate follows exceptionally well. The mouthfeel is creamy and full yet maintaining high drinkability.

    This beer goes down way easier than any 8% ABV beer should – danger zone (I’m lucky I only have one can). This one surpasses my expectations by being a must-try if you’re a beer geek. Highly recommended.

    My compliments to both 5e Baron and Bas-Canada; here the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

  • Cosmic Clouds | SpindleTap Brewery

    Rating: Outstanding

    From a 473ml can served cool at 9 degrees Celsius into a TeKu glass. The bottom of the packaging reads 03/2020 – likely BB of March 2020.

    This beer was picked up from Whole Foods in Houston and was highly recommended by someone I know who works there. The cans arrived safely in Toronto where I’m very excited to review this.

    Appearance

    The beer pours a murky pale gold with 3cm of bubbly, thin, off-white head which dissipates into a partial film within 1+ minutes. Poor lacing and fair head retention. As far as beer goes, I still think these haze-bois are ugly.

    Aroma

    Moderate intensity with good balance. The aroma has a gorgeous and complex ripe fruit character; hops all the way.

    Pronounced stone fruit (peaches) and tropical fruit (mango) are complimented by grapefruit and pine. Perfumy, floral undertones and a really interesting fennel character add more complexity and nuance. A touch of ethanol to round out sweetness. An underlying pale malt gives off a crackery impression.

    The dry nose is reminiscent of a crackery pale malt with layered hops. Fennomenal :)

    Flavour

    Follows the aroma with medium-strong intensity, good balance, and pronounced perceived bitterness.

    The palate opens up very juicy with notes of peaches and grapefruit which set the stage for a complex and hop-forward center where notes of grapefruit, mango, passionfruit, fennel, and mild ethanol compete for attention.

    The long finish is relatively intense and quite balanced with notes of grapefruit, fennel, mango, and pine. Hop-jooce. Delicious.

    Mouthfeel

    Medium-full body with moderate carbonation. The mouthfeel is crisp and somewhat creamy with restrained alcohol warming and an off-dry finish. Mild hop-derived astringency. No harshness of any kind. Great drinkability.

    Overall

    Spindletap’s Cosmic Clouds is an outstanding DIPA.

    It pours out like a juice from a box which I never enjoy, but I quickly forget about the looks as the punchy hop aroma takes over. Amazing hop-complexity from a single hop. The overall flavour is soooo delicious and the mouthfeel contributes to great drinkability forcing me to forget the elevated ABV.

    This one’s worth trying whenever you get a chance. I highly recommend it to hop-lovers as well as hop-curious people. The bitterness shows some restraint so I could see this as a gateway to hops regardless of its strength. SpindleTap delivers by exceeding my expectations.
