Hickson has a bright and
bounteous nose that is rich in citrus notes and also packs a suggestion
of pine. Interestingly, the flavour seems (to me at least) to be the
inverse, with punchy pine notes on lead and silvery citrus tones playing
rhythm.
Despite its modest stats, this ale
tastes much stronger and more bitter. As so often seems to be the case
with Québécois brewing, I found myself pretty taken with this stuff.
It's very nicely made, flavourful, and altogether delightful. I'll be
buying it again for sure. Only a few more boozes and a slightly more
developed finish could make this a better beer.
Rating: 8.5 out of 10.
