I reviewed Montreal, QC's McAuslan St-Ambroise Oatmeal Sttout a while back, here: Beer #7. Their brewery started in 1989 and started with a pale ale, which was very well received. This is one of four seasonal brews they offer, one for each season: in the summer, Raspberry Ale; in the fall, Spiced Pumpkin Ale; in the winter, Strong Ale; and in the spring, Apricot Wheat Ale..
It has a clear golden colour with an orange hue. A white head that dissipates quickly.
The apricot takes over the aroma with hints of malt and floral hoppy notes.
The malt comes in quickly at the start with the apricot comes with some hoppy bitterness with the floral notes mingling with the apricot at the finish.
A very nice and refreshing brew, sadly it is only available in the spring. The flavours are quite complex and fairly subtle. This is not a big beer like their Oatmeal Stout, but a perfect beer for the soming patio season.
