    The beer pours a nice red colour with a creamy, pinkish head. The aroma is slightly hoppy with cherry tones. The mouthfeel is creamy, medium-bodied with high carbonation. The flavour is definitely strong on the sour cherries.

    The beer pours a translucent metallic gold colour with a generous white head. The aroma is slightly metallic as well, with a little malt character. The mouthfeel is watery with some carbonation. The taste is very grassy. Too grassy for my liking.

    The beer pours a translucent dark brown colour with a thin tan coloured head. The aroma is malty with some sweet and spicy tones. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with high carbonation. The flavour is dry, malty, a bit spicy, and a little hoppy finish.

    The beer pours a very translucent pale gold colour with a huge fluffy white head that is gone quickly. The aroma is very grainy/grassy. The mouthfeel is fuller than water, and far too carbonated. The flavour is very grainy/grassy too.

    $1.75
    This beer pours a beautiful translucent light reddish gold colour with a huge fluffy white head. The aroma is very weak with no discernable notes of anything. The mouthfeel is watery and highly carbonated. The flavour is also very weak. No discernable taste of malt, hops, honey...or even grain. If it wasn't for the frothy head and the words 'beer' and 'biere' on the can, I would have thought with was coloured water. I'm convinced the $1.75 I paid is $1.74 too much.

    First, allow me to write what is on the side of the can

    666 kilograms of malt
    6.66 kilograms of hops
    66.6 minutes of boiling
    6% alc/vol
    6.6.06 Date of Conception

    This beer pours a translucent dark red, it was beautiful. The head is generous, tan in colour, and lasts a few minutes. The aroma is sweet malt, a little hops, and a faint touch of licorice. The mouthfeel is medium-bodied, slightly creamy, and mildly carbonated. The flavour is very hoppy with a lot of juicy citrus notes, and balanced nicely by the caramel notes in the malt..

    After my review, through 6 reviews, the beer's score is 3.333, not bad for a "Devil's" Pale Ale

    The white bottle caught my eye. This beer pours a dark murky brown with a generous tan coloured head. The aroma is strongly yeasty with a fruit backdrop, possibly plums or raisins. The mouthfeel is medium bodied, and very champagny. The flavour is malty, yeasty, and slightly sour.

    The beer was clearly marked 9.2% as opposed to 9.3%. The beer pours a dark brown with a huge generous brown head that lasts and lasts. The aroma is very yeasty with some dark fruits and spices. The mouthfeel is full bodied with some mild carbonation. The flavour is very malty followed by some yeasty tones. A very good beer, but not as good as the '10'

    The beer pours a translucent orange-gold with a fluffy white head. The aroma is hoppy with some citrus and spicy tines in the mix. The mouthfeel is medium-bodied with mild carbonation. The flavour is hoppy with some grapefruit and lime flavours mixed in with the spices.

    The beer pours a coca-cola black with a huge chocolate milk coloured frothy head. The aroma consists of roasted malts and some chocolate tinges. The mouthfeel is medium-bodied with little carbonation. The flavour is very similar to the 95% Cocoa Lindt chocolate.
