    The beer pours a very hazed golden yellow colour with a decent sized long lasting white head. Aroma is fruit, funk, yeast, and spices. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. Flavour is slightly sweet, with fruity and yeasty notes.

    My Canada Day beer. The beer pours a very hazed orange-gold colour with a huge foamy white head. Aroma is bananas, spices, and wheat. Mouthfeel is a bit on the thin side for a weizenbock, and carbonation is average. Flavour is sweet, fruity, with a definite bitter finishing bite.

    650ml bottle (as Central City Imperial IPA for Autism)

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

    The beer pours a hazed golden-orange colour with a 1" tan coloured head and plenty of effervescence. The aroma is pine, citrus and hints of caramel. Mouthfeel is full bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is slightly sweet, not a lot of citrusy hop bite, alcohol is well hidden. I was expecting more, but then I was disappointed by RTed Racer as well.

    The beer pours a grapefruit pinkish-red with a 1" tan coloured cap. The aroma is grainy malt, and vomit. The can says "Not for the faint of hops' but I smelled none. Mouthfeel was light to medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is better than the aroma with grainy mnalt and a slight hop bitterness, still not as bitter as the description on the can would suggest

    C'est What? (Toronto, Ontario, Canada)
    June 18, 2013
    The beer poured a lightly hazed golden orange with a thin white head. The aroma was citrusy hops, but not over the top, light fruit, and some caramel. Mounthfeel was medium bodied with average carbonation. Flavour is a balance between light grapefruity hops and light caramel malt. Good, far from outstanding.

    C'est What? (Torointo, Ontario, Canada)
    June 18, 2013
    The beer poured a transparent reddish-brown colour with a thin tan head. The aroma was roasted malt, dark fruit, and some herbal hops. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour was on the sweet side with molasses and coffee, and a spicy finish. The best Church-Key beer I have had in ages.

    The beer poured a translucent copper red colour with a thin tan coloured cap. The aroma was malt, caramel, fruits, floral hops, and spices. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour was sweet grains, some caramel, yeast, and a hoppy finish. The best Altbier I've had to date.

    Milton LCBO Outlet #1 (Milton, Ontario, Canada)
    June 17, 2013
    The beer pours a crystal clear light gold colour with a smallish white cap that lasts a while. The aroma is sweet malt, grass, a metallic tang, and some spruce. Mouthfeel is light to medium bodied, with average carbonation. Flavour is very grainy, with a little bit of spiciness. As with a previous rater, not tasting any spruce here.

    The beer pours a translucent scarlet red colour with ruby highlights and a this white ring for a head. The aroma was burnt toast, some sweet malt, and a weak hint of hops. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. Flavour was burnt toast, and sweet malt. Not much rye character in this beer. More like a brown ale gone wrong.

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

    The beer pours a murky copper colour with a 1" creamy tan head that lasts. The aroma is spices, alcohol, sweet malt, candy sugar, and dark fruits. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is all over the place, there are peaty notes, molasses notes, gingerbread notes, fruity notes, and alcohol notes. Liquid Christmas Cake. It's just not for me.
