I don't know much about beer, but i bought this in Latvia this summer. I've drank other beers since then that I liked a lot, but I didn't take a picture and can't remember the names now. I like non filtered beers but I've started appreciating darker stuff more lately. I really like the "Lion d’Or Bitter" they renamed as "l'Ile Noire Bitter" at this pub in Montreal. It's not too bitter but still has a lot of taste. I'm not really a beer connoisseur so I can't really describe it :( I've been meaning to learn more about beers for quite some time now, thanks for the reminder with this post.
Playing tennis with a fella from Montreal, he asks "which pub"?
L'ile noire on St-Denis. They specialize in whisky but they still have a pretty good beer selection. I've only been there once so I wouldn't be able to say much about the ambiance but the beer was good.
Thank you, it looks like a really nice place. I'll ask him next week (we play Sundays) if he is familiar with it. Tonight I had some beer that was prefect for the occasion. We've been drinking beer and playing doubles tennis for the past few Sundays. It's a blast and no beer would be better than Bud Lite. Why? Because it might as well be water.
Well there's nothing wrong with that, I'm certainly no expert either! But that's part of the point behind this thread: Tasting notes, appreciations, reviews, and of course, liquified education. Never heard of the Cēsu in your photo, it looks great in the glass though! How would you describe it to drink? Heaviness, bitterness, first taste, aftertaste?
