Beer Advocate Review #267
Beer: Sainte Source Belge
Brewery: Brasseurs De La Mauricie
Style: Belgian Strong Pale Ale
ABV: 8%
Serving: Bottle
Score: B-
Shared with my wife last night over our take-out Chinese.
Poured from a 500ml. bottle.
Appearance: A light honey-brown body with lots of sticky white foam and average retention. Pretty good coating all down the glass.
Smell: Banana, spices, yeast, bubble gum and citrus. Very good aroma.
Taste: Starts with a bit of sugar and banana. A bit peppery in the end and my wife gets smoked gouda. The flavors feel muted and not very lively.
Mouthfeel: Smooth but lacks real depth. Medium carbonation but the body is a bit watery.
Overall: Glimmers of being good at first but overall this Belgian-style ale falls too short.
