The beer poured a translucent pale gold colour with a foamy, bubbly white head, and a ton of effervescent. The aroma was grassy malt, some off aromas, and hops. The mouthfeel was highly carbonated and light-bodied. The flavour was grainy malt with a bitter finish, and some peppery notes.

The beer poured a translucent gold colour with a thin foamy white head. The aroma was sour malt and not much else. The mouthfeel was medium bodied, with mild carbonation. The flavour was sweet, metallic, acidic, and just plain not good.

The beer poured a translucent pale golden with a thin loose bubbly white head. The aroma was grainy malt and hops, with some vomit backup. The mouthfeel was light, watery, and heavily carbonated. The flavour was more sour grains than bitter. Finishing it was mistake #2

The beer was bottled on February 22, 2008.....and if stored in a cool dry place would keep until 2030 (it said so on the bottle). The beer poured a cloudy gold colour with a very thin white head. The aroma was sour cherries and apples with a little bit of malt. The mouthfeel was dry, very tart, highly carbonated, and medium bodied. The flavour was tart apples, and some graininess. Very enjoyable.

The beer poured a hazy orange-gold with a rocky white head. The aroma was malt, hops, and pine. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour was crisp, some malt, and a bitter grapefruit. Enjoyable.

MIke Duggan #9 IPA was a recent finalist at Volo's IPA challenge (May 2009). The beer pours a translucent dark brown (it is referred to as a dark IPA). The head was white, creamy, and about an inch thick. The aroma was sweet malt, citrus, pine, and definitely hops. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with medium carbonation. The taste was soapy, with hints of malt, and a bitter grapefruit finish.

No matter how many times I try Guinness, I fail to see why the world appreciates it so much. As I move along with my beer experience, I do tend to give it slightly higher ratings....more to distance it from the trashy swill than to bring it closer to the diamonds of the beer world.

I tried this beer on June 4, 2009 at "Smokeless Joe's" in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer poured a transparent gold colour with a thin white head that disappeared fast. The aroma was grainy malt, some hops, and a hint of dishwashing detergent. The mouthfeel was weak bodied, quite watery, and well carbonated. The taste was an ill conceived concoction of grainy malt, grass, and acid.

The beer poured a cloudy light lemonade colour with very little head. The aroma had sour hints to go along with some citrusy notes and wheat. The mouthfeel was light to medium bodied (quite thin) with only mild carbonation. The flavour was sour wheat malt and some citrus. One of the worst witbiers I have tried

I tried this beer on June 1, 2009 after purchasing from one of my local LCBO outlets. The beer poured a beautiful translucent red with a thin creamy light tan coloured head that stuckj around. The aroma was tart cherries, some wheat malt, and spice. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with weak carbonation, mildly disappointing for the style. The flavour is tart, bold, with definite cherry hints, and a tart and bitter finish.
