Aroma: 5 | Appearance: 5 | Mouthfeel: 5 | Flavor: 5 | Overall: 5 They may as well bottle/can the orange wedge with the beer. Colour - hazy gold, white head. Aroma - weak citrus, some spice. Mouthfeel - thin to medium. Flavour - sweet citrus. Overall - Possibly the best of the AK line of beers, which isn't saying much. |

179 | Rickard's Blonde | Canada | Bohemian / Czech Pilsener | 2.6
Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 5 | Mouthfeel: 5 | Flavor: 5 | Overall: 5 It has been known for years that Labatt and Molson have been duelling throughout Canada with their 'Premium' beer lines. Alexander Keith's for Labatt's and Rickard's for Molson. I tend to prefer the Rickard's beers. Colour - medium gold, off-white head. Aroma - stale grain, some hops. Mouthfeel - thin to medium. Flavour - grainy. Overall - decent. |

182 | Rickard's India Pale Ale | Canada | IPA | 1.6
Aroma: 4 | Appearance: 3 | Mouthfeel: 3 | Flavor: 3 | Overall: 3 Like the Keith's version, this is far more of a golden/blonde ale than an IPA, except this is the one head to head matchup where Rickard's loses. Colour - clear light gold, thin white cap. Aroma - sewage. Mouthfeel - very thin. Flavour - watered down grains with some acidity. Overall - bad. |

Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7 Not a bad fruit beer. Colour - clear cherry kool-aid red, pinkish thin cap. Aroma - raspberries, some tartness. Mouthfeel - medium. Flavour - nicely balanced between the tarty acidity and fruity sweetness, however the tartness lingers too long after the sweetness is gone. Overall - decent. |

193 | Amsterdam Big Wheel Deluxe Amber Beer | Canada | Amber Ale | 2.5
Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 5 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 4 | Overall: 4 Another Amsterdam draught, about as bad as the Dutch Amber Lager.

Mouthfeel - medium. Flavour - very acidic and metallic in nature, almost gross. Overall - below average. |
