Slightly hazed, amber colour with mild golden highlights, a frothy light-beige head, good retention and thick foamy lacing left. Red ale aromas with caramel malts and fruitiness and hints of spices. The pepper comes out more in the taste, creating a little heat in mouth, lightly lingering. The maltiness is the base of the beer with decent cereal notes. A nice, refreshing Rousse with the pepper just adding enough to stand out, and warm up things.

500ml brown bottle with blue wax on cap - 2023 edition. Pours a dark brown colour with copper-ruby highlights. The head is frothy, mocha-coloured with some good stay and leaving a coating on the brew, decent lacing. Prunes in the aromas over the roasted malt base with hints of vanilla, wood, coffee. Smooth, lightly oily mouthfeel with a tad tart left on the tongue, and not too dry - yet, not syrupy. Mild dark fruits flavours, well-blended with the roasted malt which are smoothed out with the foeder. Even less vanilla in the taste, which is fine, as sometimes too overpowering in some beer. They made another version with vanilla and coconut for those who prefer that. This one is just a really smooth Imperial Stout that just goes down nicely.

Clean, dark brown colour with amber highlights. The head is small, fizzing away quickly, light beige and leaving a tiny ring around the brew. Toasty malt, bread notes, some caramel and plums. The mouthfeel is quite smooth, slick with not much syrupy-thick action. Drying enough to make it easy to drink. The alcohol is quite well-hidden. Again, in the flavours - dark fruits, roasted malts, some nuttiness and not too rich. Quite an easy-drinking, stronger Scotch Ale that is well-balanced.

Can that pours a brown colour with amber highlights, a frothy beige head, decent retention and some light creamy lacing left. Big maple syrup aromas at first, with some Cognac-alcoholic notes, sugary-brown malts and hints of licorice, herbs. The Imperial Brown ale side comes out nicely in the taste with not too much sweetness. A touch maple, coffee and grassiness. Gets a tad hazy as it pours, and particles are seen floating around. A smooth mouthfeel with a nice drying finish. This is quite a nice stronger version of their Aki no Seishin with the mushroom shinning it maple magic, and the Cognac barrel adding an extra touch.

Clean, slightly lighter golden colour with a frothy white cap, average retention and some mild foamy lacing sliding down the glass. Blood orange is what is felt in the nose, fresh over the wheat (bubble gum) and grassy hops that come out when the glass is swirled. The blood orange is lighter in the taste, but still some good citrus notes over the cereal grain base. Hints of bananas and its tartiness lingering. Gets a touch hazy at last pour. Not a bad wheat ale with the blood orange taking over, and making this more refreshing than wheat alone.

Can that pours a clean golden colour with a frothy-creamy white cap, decent retention and sticky-soapy lacing. Aromas show the alcohol content with some wheat-banana notes, Belgian sugar, medicinal notes and hints of grassy-hops. The flavours are a little better balanced, still showing milder signs of bananas, sugars, alcohoicl-bitterness and some grassiness. Gets a slight hazier as it pours, and some particles looking like spices do appear floating around. A decent Belgian Tripel-style beer, but seems better when drank from the can - as the nose does not pack such in impact, which is not the ultimate. In all fairness, the smell does calm down with time, and blends better together.

Clean, amber colour with a frothy-bubbly beige head, good stay and nice cloudy-spots of lacing. Fresh, darker cereal malt base with a touch of caramel and to balance - good herbal-grassiness. Eventually, light alcohol comes out. The mouthfeel is smooth, not overly carbonated like this style should be, and decent building dryness in the finish. The hops are quite delicious in here, leaving notes of black tea over the caramel malt base. Gets hazy as it pours, and some particles comes around. Quite a nice English IPA with interesting-fresh hops that builds quite a heavy dryness that linger.

Fairly clean, peach-pinkish colour with a fizzy off-white head leaving a little ring around the brew. Real citrus lemon juices, zest showing in the nose with pink grapefruit blending the fruitiness. Hints of cherries in the finish. Again, feels like real fruits in the taste, not syrupy, but zesty, somewhat drying the end. Quite refreshing, fruity - a real good Radler-style beer.

Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 4 | Mouthfeel: 5 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 5

Unfiltered, a little hazy, with tiny, transparent particles floating around. The head is frothy-fizzy, white-orangy, mild stay and minimal lace which fits the style. The grapefruit concentrates are blended with some honey notes, mild grassiness, orange juice and even caramel malts, diacetyl. The taste shows a little more of the citrus with a touch of sourness. With time, it seems more like mango juice than grapefruit purée. The mouthfeel is refreshing, but a tad thick for a radler. Thankfully, the finish is drying. Alright for a Radler, but not as citrusy-juicy as expected.

A very slight haze, light golden colour with a big frothy white cap that lasts quite a while, leaving some thick foamy-soapy lacing. Aromas of spicy malts and fresh herbal notes. The sweet malts come out in the taste, but is nicely balanced by the grassy hops. Light dryness in the finish. A good, easy-drinking Pilsner with good cereal, spiciness and a very nice herbal touch.

A very slight unfiltered golden colour with a frothy-creamy warm off-white head, good retention and lots of sticky lacing. A fresh herbal aromas from the hops over the caramel malt base. The mouthfeel is wet, refreshing with just enough building dryness in the finish. Flavours - again the nice blend of grassy hops over the caramel maltiness, and that nice herbal touch lingering. Quite a nice, easy-drinking American IPA, well-balanced with a decent dry end.

Says imported by the Craft Brand Company in Toronto. A little hazy, golden-orange colour with a huge fluffy-frothy cap, very long lasting and leaving full sticky-soapy lacing. Citrus juices, zest and a herbal touch in the nose. Older can, could feel that can pretty hard, so opened quite quickly, and just a tad gush came out. Same citrus and light grassiness in the taste. A decent juicy IPA, that we have fresher from locals.

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

Hazy golden-beige with a fluffy-bubbly white cap, good stay and some light soapy lacing is left. Citrus aromas like lemon, orange zest with hints of white grapes. The taste has zesty, lightly-spiced and zinging citrusy notes continuing. A decent building dryness in the finish. The Sauvignon Blanc touches are quite mild in here - wish they were a little stronger. Not bad as a citrus-like, hazy IPA.

A very slight hazed, golden-orange colour with a frothy-bubbly white-orangish head and some spots of lace. The oranges in the nose do have a touch more of candyish-essence found in Orange Crush soda. This continues into the taste, but not as sweet as expected, as not too syrupy. It's like a diluted McDonald's Orange juice, so reminds us of good young times, and but adjusted for our adult ones. A touch sour, but not as much as the Pink Lemonade version I just had, and preferred.

Murky beige-yellow colour with a bubbly-frothy white cap, average stay and a film covering the glass. Getting some candy aromas, but this seems to be a blend of the mild vanilla, with the coconut and pineapples. This gives me hints of cherry candy smell, and with the pistachios-nuttiness, reminds me a bit of Amaretto. The bananas come out a bit more in the taste, with the sweet-fruitiness balancing. The bananas were sticking to the bottom of the can, so really comes out at last pour, and cuts the sweetness. Quite a nice, thick Smoothie Sour with loads of fruits and nuttiness for banana lovers.

Hazy, really looking like pink lemonade (not candyish like their Barbe à Papa). The head is frothy, thicker, lasting quite a while, white-pinkish and leaving decent lace spots. The lemonade continues into the smell, with a true juiciness, some mild sourness, hints of rum-alcohol. The taste has a touch more candy-likeness, but nothing like their other candy-beers. Refreshing lemony, sour notes and hints of vanilla. Was not expecting a decent, summer refreshing sour beer like this.

Lightly hazed, bright golden-yellow colour with a frothy-soapy head, lasting a while and leaving some nice foamy lacing. Mild spicy nose with cereal grains, a touch of citrus and lots of herbal notes. The grassiness continues into the taste with a nice smooth bitterness, dryness. Herbal action all around with a tad citrus - all so refreshing. A nicely balanced Pils with cereal malts, spiciness, citrusy and refreshing dryness.

Clean, light golden colour, bright with a nice frothy white cap, decent stay and light lacing left. Fresh Pils aromas with the spicy, cereal malts and herbal hoppiness. The taste continues the spiciness with some decent grassiness lingering. Originally, when I saw the word "Light", I expected 4% ABV, but just noticed it was 2.5% - like Nano beers. If I did not know, I really would think this is a normal 5% beer with everything you want in a Pilsner. Quite a nicely brewed lower alcohol Pils brew without lacking character.

750ml bottle that pours a real dark brown, almost black colour with no highlights seen. Dark mocha-coloured head that fizzes away quickly, not leaving any lace. The first thing I get is bag coconut smell, and tasted first as well. The cacao is well-balanced with the vanilla to not be overpowering. Hints of wood and soy sauce from the Bourbon, again well-blended with the rest. Glad this one is not overly rich, and the finish is lightly dry, and not syrupy as it would seem from the get-go - as the mouthfeel is slick and oily. Just a tad boozy, lingering, kind of warming. Quite a nice coconuty, Imperial Stout with a touch of chocolate, Bourbon and vanilla.

After having their Boathouse #7 - lets try their brand new #8. Golden-amber colour with a fluffy-soapy whitish head, lasting a little more than the previous, and a touch more lacing left. Citrus hop nose with a tad alcohol, bitterness, oats and grassiness. More juicy than #7 already. This one seems to continue in the path of the series, maybe why the Eclipse hops were written on their site, but El Dorade is showing on the label of the can. This one has the citrus, but not that zing, zesty, sting #7 had. Another juicy, refreshing DDH IPA that fits the bill.

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

Hazy golden colour with a smaller, bubbly white cap not lasting as long as usual, and minimal soapy lacing. The nose seems more drying, but the mouthfeel is not. Very wet and just a touch of dryness is left. It does build, but in a thin way. The orange and grapefruit of the Amarillo hops are felt, but milder. It is like citrus zest is left on the tongue, but very lightly, and a tad tart. A little sting-spiciness lingers. I think the Eclipse hops is what I am not a fan of in Cold IPAs, and makes this one - not my favourite.

Last bottle found in a store - best before 2024 JL18, lot# 1299. Unfiltered with a bunch of tiny particles floating around, an amber colour. A nice creamyish-frothy warm-beige head that stays a nice time, leaving creamy-foamy lacing all-around. Peppery aromas over decent malts that are fruity and mildly sweet. Getting a little chocolate malts in there. The spiciness is present in the taste, but not to burn your mouth. A wet mouthfeel with just a tad dryness in the finish. Nothing syrupy as well. A nice, refreshing amber ale with some nice notes of pepper spiciness.

Hazy golden colour with a big warm off-white head, great retention and patches of soapy lacing left. The fruitiness of tangerines from the Sabro comes out softly in the nose. Citrus peel comes out eventually. The mouthfeel is on the thinner side with the alcohol well-hidden, and mostly juicy with a touch dryness in the end. Lots of citrus in the flavours, juicy, but more on the zesty side, with a light warming-bitterness. A pretty good lightly-bodied, drying, juicy and zesty IPA.

First from this brewery, and this one won one of the best Canadian Double IPA. Hazy, golden-orange with an off-white frothy-foamy head that stays a while, and some thick patches of lacing are left. Oranges in the nose at first, but some mild grassiness does come out, with hints of alcohol and dry white wine (among other fruitiness) from the Kölsch yeast. Sediments on the smaller scale are falling to the bottom as it pours some more. The mouthfeel is not too thick, wet enough with a drying finish, getting thinner. Fruity flavours of citrus zest, light grapes and decent grassy-bitterness in the end. Also getting some pineapple notes in the taste eventually from the Simcoe hops. Not the juiciest Imperial IPA, but still quite fruity with touch of dry white wine.

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

Hazy golden-orange colour with a slightly off-white head, good stay and tons of sticky lacing. Citrus aromas with some light sweetening from the oats, hints of peach, manderin with a tad alcohol. The taste shows a touch more peaches, but not on the sweet side. Balanced by some mild bitterness. The dryness is even milder it seems. Quite a beautiful juicy, peachy Double IPA that goes down so well - with less bitterness, less dryness than most of this style.
