    Royal Bank Plaza LCBO Outlet (Toronto, Ontario, Canada)

    The beer pours a solid black colour with a medium brown coloured head that lingers. The aroma is roasted malt, dark chocolate, and a hint of yeast. The mouthfeel is thin to medium bodied with some chalkiness, and the carbonation is average. The flavour is sweet chocolate milk, bitter coffee, and some roastiness that lingers.

    The beer pours a hazed yello gold colour with a thin off-white head. The aroma is a little funky with grains, and yeast. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with above average carbonation. The flavour is earthy with a definite saltiness rounded out by spices and yeast. Not a fan of the style but this was palatable.

    The beer pours a translucent medium gold colour with a half inch white head. The aroma is light fruit, caramel, and spices. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is light citrus, weak caramel, spice, and sharp sweetness to finish.

    The beer pours a solid brownish-black with a 1" light brown head that slowly dissipates. The aroma is coffee, roasted malt, yeast, and cocoa. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with above average carbonation. The flavour is roasted malt, dark chocolate, with hints of licorice and yeast. Delicious.

    Milton LCBO Outlet #1 (Milton, Ontario, Canada)

    The beer pours a slightly hazed honey gold colour with a very thin white ring for a cap. The aroma is apricots, grains, and a funky yeasty note. The mouthfeel was light to medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour was apricot and grass, with a hint of tartness. Best beer of the weekend.

    Milton LCBO Outlet #1 (Milton, Ontario, Canada)

    The beer pours a translucent shimmering medium gold colour with a generous bubbly white head which lasts less than 10 seconds. The aroma is cereal malt and a hint of earthy hops. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is a slight lactose sweetness associated with Canadian 'stock' ales, with hints of hops in the mix. I would definitely try this again as a cheap flavourful go-to lager.

    The beer poured a hzed metallic gold colour with a white head that quickly disappeared, but left some nice lacing down the glass. The aroma was weak grapefruit notes, weak yeast, and cereal grains. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour was weak grapefruit, with a dash of honey, and grains.

    The beer pours a hazy pale yellow with a thin white cap. The aroma was very weak and almost non-existent. There was a weak whiff of citrus, and some malty notes. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour was only slightly stronger than the aroma with hints of weak lemon and grass. A miss for Indie Ale House in my opinion.

    The beer pours a hazed honey golds colour with a 1" off-white cap that lingers. Plenty of effervescence is visible. Aroma is pine, citrus, honey, and grains. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is light grapefruit, wood, and notes of honey and grainy malt. Quite good.

    The beer pours a slightly clouded golden-hued copper with a generous light tan head. The aroma is pine, citrus, grains, and dishsoap. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is spices, grapefruit, and caramel hints. Pretty good, but not great.
