Beer Advocate Review #264


Beer: Patriote (red label)
Brewery: Brasseurs Illimités
Style: Amber/Red Ale
ABV: 4.9%
Serving: Bottle
Score: C+

Had this with some pizza.

Poured from a 341ml. bottle.

Appearance: Lightly tan foam, easily 3-4 fingers and quite creamy with a light brown barley red body. Retention is better than the other Patriote and stays @ 1 finger then half of one.

Smell: Caramel malt, some nuttiness. Not half bad.

Taste: Crystal malt, caramel, nutty and even maybe a whisper of hops. Pretty decent.

Mouthfeel: Cream, carbonation is average and the body is quite smooth and pleasant with some low bitterness thrown in there.

Overall: Better than the Blonde one for sure. I might even try this again and is a better alternative to Rickard's.
