Louis XVII Amber Ale comes from northern New Brunswick, where its brewed
by Les Brasseurs du Petit-Sault. I had a goblet full on draught at
Fredericton standout Isaac's Way while waiting for a tasty bowl of
seafood chowder. According to the Petit-Sault website, this beer clocks in at 5.5% alcohol.
A bit dark for an amber
ale, Lou 17 came my way clear, reddish brown, and topped with a thin
off-white disc of head. It has a malty, coppery nose--mild but
agreeable. On the flavour side of things, tastes are slightly fruity,
malt-driven, and a tad metallic. Mouthfeel is smooth, but a bit thin.
There
are some roasted elements that I liked, and a soft touch of tartness,
too. Too thin by half, but an interesting little brew from my home
province. Makes me want to try more of their offerings.
Rating: 7.0 out of 10.
