358 Oskar Blues Ten FIDY United States Imperial Stout 4.0

Aroma: 10 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 9 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7

Can (newly available in Ontario). Colors - a solid black pour, similar to a thin motor oil, creamy brown head. Aroma - roasted malt, vanilla. Mouthfeel - thick and creamy. Overall - a very bitter beer. While good, needed some more 'sweetness' to cut through the bitterness.

359 Sierra Nevada Pale Ale United States American Pale Ale 4.2

Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 9 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 9 | Overall: 9

I'm told this is the quintessential craft beer and it is now available in Ontario in cans. Can. Colour - a golden amber, good effervescence, this off-white head. Aroma - grapefruit, cereals, yeast, and spices. Mouthfeel - almost full bodied, well carbonated. Flavour - it starts off a little malty, but after that, it's all about the hops. And that is a good thing.

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 6

Bottle. Colour – transparent golden amber, white foamy head, good lacing. Aroma – grains, light caramel, light floral hop notes. Mouthfeel – medium bodied, ample carbonation. Flavour – nicely balanced between the malted grains and the bitter hops. While it may be a better than average lager, it is a below average beer.
