Milton LCBO Outlet #1 (Milton, Ontario, Canada)
August 2, 2008
The beer poured a translucent gold colour with a thin white head, and tons of particles. The aroma was lambic with a twist of lemon. The mouthfeel was SOUR! It was light bodied, champagne-like carbonation - and did I mention it was SOUR! The flavour was overwhelimngly lemon with some sour malt as well.
I thought the first mouthful of this was powerful..........little did I know it was the mouthful that was the easiest to tolerate. -

The beer poured a translucent golden colour with red hues and high effervescence. The head was off-white, rocky, and lasted a while. The aroma was grassy malt with a little floral hoppiness. The mouthfeel was medium bodied, with medium carbonation. The flavour was citrusy, grapefruity hops, and some grassy malt. -

I tried this beer on August 1, 2008 at "Smokeless Joe's" in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer pours a cloudy/transparent golden brown with a generous fluffy white head. The aroma was very yeasty, with some peppery spice, some grainy malt, and some floral hoppiness. The mouthfeel was medium bodied, highly carbonated, and very bitter. The flavour was dominated by the peppery spiciness, with some hoppish bitterness backing it up. -

This is probably one of the palest beers I have ever seen. It is a very translucent yello with almost no head. The aroma is vomit. The mouthfeel is watery, thin bodied, and highly carbonated (40 minutes after pouring, there is still effervescence in the glass). The taste is very grainy and not much else. Only Milwaukee's Best has been worse. -

Main/Bronte LCBO Outlet (Milton, Ontario, Canada)

$3.25
I tried this beer on July 26, 2008 after purchasing from one of my local LCBO outlets. The beer poured a beautiful translucent red with a 1" off-white head that lingered a while. The aroma was sweet malt, and a definite hoppy sense. The mouthfeel was medium bodied, amply carbonated, and slightly bitter. The flavour was sweet malt, hops, and spicy. Easily drinkable. -

The beer poured a translucent orange-hued gold with a 2cm white bubbly head that stuck around a while. The aroma was primarily grainy malt with a little hoppish hint. The mouthfeel was medium bodied, and mildy carbonated. The flavour was a nice balance between the malt and a hoppy finish. A decent beer.
