C.B.
poured with a very lively layer of eggshell head. Through that cloud, a
hearty aroma of yeast and dry bitterness emerged, as well as a faintly
perfumed floral tone. In terms of flavour, the beer is amply hoppy (I'd
have said it was more bitter than the 55 IBUs listed on the label) and
very dry. There was a well-muscled yeast presence that left no illusions
about the beer's Belgian-inspired roots.
I
thought that Cheval Blanc was a pretty decent ale: good strength, strong
flavour, and sold in a large format. It wasn't the Québécois
interpretation of a Belgian ale I've ever tasted, but it sipped easily
and left me feeling pretty cheery.
Rating: 7.5 out of 10.
