Brasserie du Bas-Canada

Umbra by Brasserie du Bas-Canada is a vibrant New Zealand Pilsner that centers its sensory profile on the expressive Riwaka hop. It presents a brilliant yellow-gold appearance with a resilient, creamy white head. The aroma is high in intensity, leading with distinct notes of passionfruit, white grapefruit, and a subtle crushed green peppercorn character, all supported by a clean, bready malt foundation. On the palate, the Riwaka hops provide a punchy tropical and citrus flavor profile balanced by a firm yet smooth bitterness. This sessionable lager is light and refreshing, finishing dry and crisp with a lingering, clean hop presence.

Appearance. 2–4 SRM. Brilliant yellow-gold with excellent clarity. Thick, creamy white head with high retention and delicate lacing.

Aroma. High hop intensity featuring passionfruit, white grapefruit, and honeydew melon, accompanied by a light grassy and green bell pepper note. Low bready and crackery malt support. Clean fermentation profile with a very faint, noble-like sulfur quality.

Taste. Initial hop-forward impression of tropical fruit and lime. Medium-high hop bitterness that is clean and lacks harshness. Malt flavor is medium-low, providing a bready, grainy-sweet backbone that prevents the beer from being one-dimensional. Dry finish with a lingering citrus and grassy aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth, soft texture. Medium-high carbonation provides a refreshing prickle on the tongue. No alcohol warmth or astringency present.
