170/4916) Birreria Volo:  Des Cèdres by Microbrasserie 5e Baron of Quebec:  ****;  7.0% West Coast IPA; their Ten Falls with an adjusted hop balance:  50% Cashmere, 30% Centennial, 20 % Chinook; last two souirced locally in Quebec; clear; pine and peach nose; resiny pine flavours with a hint of stonefruit;

Translates as cedars.

This event was Off-Cask Days:  Mellön & Friends.  I did not attend Cask Days.  It is expensive and I had great beer here without paying to enter, as always.

171/4917) Birreria Volo:  Quelqu’un M’a Dit Que Tu M’amais Encore by Mellön Brasserie of Quebec:  ****; 7.0%, 40 ibu West Coast IPA; pale, clear; blend of pine and peaches with mild nerbal notes; 

Translates as “Someone told me that you still loved me.”

The joint is pretty quiet for 4PM.

172/4918) Birreria Volo:  Intuition Riwaka by Brasserie Ayawan of Quebec:  ****; 6.2% IPA; murky;  stonefruit nose; stone fruit with a hint of tropical flavours; mildly sweet;

The barmaid said this is the most popular of the lot last night.

173/4919) Birreria Volo:  Morte de Trouille STRM Turbo by Messorem of Quebec:  ****; 6.5% IPA; hopped with Nelson Sauvin, Citra, Citra Dynaboost, Motueka and Motueka hop kief; swampy; nose is a blend of tropical, stonefruit and white wine; stone fruit up front in flavours with tropical notes;

This translates as scared to death.
