L’Ambrée de sarrasin est une bière brillante et limpide aux reflets cuivrés. Ses bulles fines et abondantes lui donnent une effervescence soutenue coiffée d’une mousse dense qui colle au verre. Au nez, elle offre une gerbe de grains et d’épices ainsi que des arômes sucrées de pain d’épices rehaussés d’une pointe d’orange. En bouche, elle est dense, veloutée et complexe. Cette bière d’une bonne longueur en bouche présente des saveurs de céréale (sarrasin) et de caramel relevé d’un bouquet dépices notamment le girofle, le poivre, la cannelle et la vanille.
Beer Ratings and Reviews:
[1] Review by Phil B from Gatineau, Canada who has tried this beer once. (7/17/2006 3:55:53 PM)
"Bottle: Poured a light amber color ale with a small foamy head with average retention. Aroma of buckwheat is actually noticeable (as opposed to a bunch of beer out there with so-called buckwheat in an so small quantity that it is impossible to distinguish and quite enjoyable. Taste is also noticeable by the light bitter buckwheat tasting with very little hops. Still a bit one-sided but probably one of the best beer from this brewery."

[3] Review by pootz from between Calgary and Waterloo, Canada who has tried this beer a couple times. (6/4/2005 7:12:02 PM)
"Bottle: puts an amber beer in my pint glass with a 1 finger frothy head that lasts and laces well. Wonderful nose to this brew...sweet spices, bready, hint of tangerine peel. Nicely crafted flavor profile: sweet bready malts toned with spicey tastes: cloves, pepper, cinnamon and vanilla....long smooth mouth feel...long finish with bready spices almost like a heffe weiss...a nice buckwheat concoction.

"clear red-amber colour, fine head, subtle aroma: smokey, floral and peppery, medium-bodied, strange character-less flavour, grainy finish - the flavour does not live up to the very interesting aroma"

[5] Review by Chopz from Cantley, Canada who has tried this beer many times. (11/11/2004 2:47:40 AM)
"This buckwheat beer poured a copper-amber colour with a small head and not much lacing. You can definatly smell the buckwheat, also mixed with the malty and hints of nuts. The taste is composed of sweet malts and fruitiness. It has a nice slight bitter finish and a medium mouthfeel. Even though I really like this beer, I still prefer its competition, "Coup de Grisou" from Brasseurs RJ in Montreal."
