Joufflue
proved to be a dull gold beer; hazy with a thick and durable white head.
Yeasty and a bit fruity, there was also a whisper of pilsner-style
graininess in the aroma. The flavour was quite agreeable, and bigger
than the sessionably low percentage led me to expect. With a yeasty
profile and a bit of initial sweetness, the finish caught me off
guard—slightly perfumed and decidedly bitter (seeming more substantial
than the listed 12 IBUs).
This Quebecois wheat
beer delivers a flavourful, light-bodied, and crisp take on the style.
My only misgiving is the front end, which is a bit brittle—depth there
and this would be an elite wheat beer.
Rating: 8.5 out of 10.
