    Quebec: Colonel Cornwallis, Le Bilboquet, St.-Hyacinthe

    Posted: March 31st, 2010, 3:29am CEST by Alan McLeod

    I like this gent on the label. Not sure which Cornwallis it is. One was governor of Nova Scotia in 1749 and Gibraltar in 1762. Another, Chuck, was nowhere near Quebec at the time. The beer is a sensible 5.5% IPA, of the English sort really. Was he, which ever he was, as sensible?

    Not a bomb at all, the scent is fruit malt and a little floral hopping. In the mouth, tea and weedy hopping over sultana and apple pale malt. Soft water moreish with an extremely rich body. An attractive deep orange marmalade colour with a fine cream head. I think the lower of the two BAers have this one pegged wrong but likely over that, you know, "I-P-A" thing.
