| - Vices et Versa was almost full to the last table around 8pm on a Tuesday night, testament to the fact that Montrealers like beer - craft beer. The place had a great atmosphere: cavernous, dark wood panels, dim lighting, and not too noisy considering how hopping it was.
My friend and I are both fans of a less hoppy wheat beer, which doesn't seem to be very popular at the moment. I picked out #5, Wit L'Argousier, at the same moment our waitress pointed it out as one of their only wheat beers. Reminiscent of Hoegaarten, this light, carbonated, and citrusy beer was a wheat beer lover's dream.
Knowing we'd be going out to dinner soon (where surely a bottle of wine was to follow), I choose to slowly nurse my Wit L'Argousier, but after draining his, my friend, thinking it would be similar to his last glass, ordered #19, the Hopfen Dunkeweizen. Although it had notes of pumpkin and cinnamon, it was super-hoppy, so not to my liking. Of course I'd like to see more of a draft wheat selection, but I can't expect Vices and Versa to cater to the few over the majority, now can I?
