Found this one marked down to $1.99 a bottle at Zipp's, and it seems that I reviewed for the first time a little over a year ago, january of 2010. Here are those brief notes:
Lefebvre Hopus Ale, Brasserie Lefebvre, previously tasted in the Barbar Winter Bok.
"Brutus, Amarus, Flavusque. (?)"
Lightly hazed and yellow...enormous, bright white head, leaving much lace.
sharp and bitter aromatics, floral, lemony...
Bitter, hoppy slap to the palate up front, then softly faded back...gets milder, slightly sweetwhile retaining the hoppy flavor. Needs more body, and a bit more from the hops to compare to Poperings and the like.
I enjoyed it to an extent, found it quaffable and passable, but nothing special. At that price, though, I may go back for another.
