A thick, rich, chocolatey stout that clocks in at 9.5% might make you more comfortable with your masculinity. <br /><br />Both beers are great offerings from St Jerome's finest brasserie and you can get them on tap right now at Brother's Bistro in the market. <br /><br />But personally I think the Rosee D'hibiscus, though the name may seem feminine, is more of a beer than I see a lot of guys with.

I don’t mind your review of the beer, but I don’t like something categorized as being girly and other things being called manly. What does that mean?<br /><br />I don’t understand why men should be embarrassed to drink this. Should they also be embarrassed to order a Fruili? What about a fruit lambics? I have an apricot IPA from Dogfish Head – is that embarrassing?<br /><br />Personally I don’t think Rosée d'Hibiscus is targeted towards women. I think it’s a refreshing summer beer that appeals to casual beer drinkers, new beer drinkers or palates that enjoy things on the sweeter side. Many of those people may be women, but with 78% of the craft beer market being men it's not all of them.Ottawa Slow Riderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00612405518057921945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4071189734682513357.post-20149868096860110912013-04-01T11:52:08.699-04:002013-04-01T11:52:08.699-04:00Thanks for your comment, kellskitchen. I guess you...Thanks for your comment, kellskitchen. I guess you don't like the term "chick flick" either.<br /><br />Like most of my writing, this review was written with my tongue firmly pressed against my cheek. My statement that this is a feminine-slanted beer is, I think, a valid observation. <br /><br />I find that many breweries (indeed, many companies) tend to label their product to cater to a specific gender. I felt that this beer had a particular feminine leaning, from its label, colour, and aromas. The beer was particularly light in flavour, which seemed to blend in with the other characteristics and packaging.<br /><br />I know many women who enjoy intense IPAs and full-bodied stouts. I also know men who enjoy fruit-infused, light ales. I respect that and never judge. One's taste is personal.<br /><br />Rosée d'Hibiscus appears to be aimed primarily at a feminine audience, much like some movies are made to appeal more to women. I don't see anything wrong with that.<br /><br />My apologies if my post seems more sexist than its intention is, of stating that this beer appears to target women. In my opinion, it does.<br /><br />And that's okay.Ross Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11992849406652481756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4071189734682513357.post-13298938101050185182013-04-01T11:27:26.044-04:002013-04-01T11:27:26.044-04:00Hmm, I like stouts and IPAs.

However, I don't like your characterization of me or anyone else because of what my taste buds prefer. <br /><br />I'm glad you appreciated the tastes and flavours of the Rosée d'Hibiscus, but I wish you would have left out the sexist and unnecessary commentary about who should or shouldn't be drinking it. kellskitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01626687052154915797noreply@blogger.com
