C'est What? (Toronto, Ontario, Ontario)
August 9, 2013
The beer pours a lightly hazed light gold with a 1" frothy white cap on top. Aroma is spices, wheat, and light fruit, although no real watermelon scent. Mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with average carbonation. Flavour is grainy with a definite watermelon sense. Quite refreshing on a hot lazy Friday afternoon.Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 3 | Mouthfeel: 5 | Flavor: 3 | Overall: 3

The beer pours a transparent gold colour with absolutely no head and a fair amount of carbonation. The aroma is grainy and phenolic in nature, and hints of cough syrup. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with above average carbonation. The flavour is metallic grains and not much else.Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 8

The beer pours a hazed straw colour with a long lasting thin rocky head and ample effervescence. The aroma is yeast, citrus, spices. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is citrusy hops, grains, and a little yeast. The herbally bitter aftertaste is quite good.Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 9 | Overall: 9

Pours a hazed dark golden colpour with a thin tan coloured head that lasts (an hour so far). The aroma is yeast, spices, and citrus. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied, creamy, and average carbonation. Flavour is yeast, malt, and spices. As with Chopz, not noticing the pinot noir at all - just a very good Ontario brewed Belgian.Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7

Beer pours a hazed yellow gold with a huge generous head which laces well as it subsides. Aroma is wheat malt, citrus, and spices. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. Flavour is light grains and some spiciness. Not as much saltiness as I've heard some people talk about. Quite refreshing.Aroma: 2 | Appearance: 3 | Mouthfeel: 2 | Flavor: 2 | Overall: 2

Milton LCBO Outlet #1 (Milton, Ontario, Canada)
July 29, 2013
The beer pours a veryt pale straw yellow with almost no head and plenty of effervescence, think water with a hint of yellow food colouring. The aroma was grains and phenolic notes. The mouthfeel was watery with high carbonation - again, it was very much like carbonated water. There was not much flavour to be tasted, quite grassy for what was detectable.Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 8

The beer pours a slightly hazed golden colour with orange edges and a thin snow white cap. The aroma was heavy on the ginger with some grainy malt notes and weak floral hops. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is a little more spicy than I would like in a beer and with an artificial ginger aftertaste.Aroma: 9 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 8

Queen's Quay LCBO Outlet (Toronto, Ontario, Canada)

The beer pours a solid dark brown with black edges and a 1" head which doesn't last very long. The aroma is maple syrup, wheat, roast, and vanilla. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied, with average carbonation. The flavour is alcohol, maple, wheat, and more alcohol. This is very similar to a dunkelweizen, except North American wheat yeast was used.
