Aroma: 9 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 5 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 6

473ml can <br> 5.9% ABV <br> Canned On: July 10, 2018 <br> Main/Bronte LCBO Outlet (Milton, Ontario, Canada)<br> July 31, 2018 <br> $4.95 <br> The beer pours a solid orange colour with a short-lived pulpy head. The aroma is oranges, mango, and grapefruity hops. If it wasn't for the hoppy aroma, this would look and smell like 5 Alive fruit juice. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with a definite low carbonation sensation. The flavour is reminiscent of orange juice that has sat around for a few hours with a bitter hop bite in the finish. This is my first "milkshake IPA" because I have been avoiding the style. Now I know why as my fears were indeed realized.

473ml can &#60;br&#62; 5.0&#37; ABV &#60;br&#62; Canned On: April 20, 2020&#60;br&#62; LCBO Outlet #649 &#40;Milton, Ontario, Canada - Sobey&#39;s Plaza&#41;&#60;br&#62; July 22, 2020&#60;br&#62; &#36;3.45&#60;br&#62; The beer pours a slightly hazed metallic gold with a creamy white head that quickly recedes to a ring around the sides. Aroma is grassy malts, light tea, light spices, and very weak citrus. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is very different from the aroma with notes of wheat, orange, and tea. There is almost no bitterness in the finish however. So, for me, no detectable hops in the aroma or flavour but I enjoyed the taste.

Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 6

473ml can &#60;br&#62; 4.1&#37; ABV &#60;br&#62; Canned On: June 4, 2019&#60;br&#62; LCBO Outlet #457 &#40;Toronto, Ontario, Canada – Yonge &#47; Eglinton&#41;&#60;br&#62; August 14, 2019&#60;br&#62; &#36;3.45&#60;br&#62; The beer pours a solid golden orange colour with floaties for a head, no translucence or haze at all. The aroma is all the breakfast fruit juices rolled into one. A very faint hint of cereal malt. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is similar to the aroma but the grainy malt starts to come through, along with some hoppy bitterness. Not bad, but not worth trying again.

592 Collective Arts Imperial Porter Barrel-Aged Canada Imperial Porter 3.2

Aroma: 5 | Appearance: 9 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 5 | Overall: 5

500ml bottle &#60;br&#62; 11.50&#37; ABV &#60;br&#62; Bottled On: October 23, 2018&#60;br&#62;&#62; LCBO # 255 &#40;Milton, Ontario, Canada – Main &#47; Bronte&#41; &#60;br&#62; January 29, 2019&#60;br&#62; &#36;14.95&#60;br&#62; The beer pours a solid black colour with a creamy brown head, about a half inch thick, that lasts a while. The aroma is bourbon, and lots of it, burnt wood, some roasted malt, vanilla, and coffee. The mouthfeel is full bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is similar to the aroma….lots of burnt wood and bourbon up front, followed by notes of roasted malt, coffee. Not a fan of barrel aged beers, and in this case, the barrel takes over the beer.&#60;br&#62; &#60;br&#62; In the end, this ended up being a drainpour. It looked great, the mouthfeel was great, but the overpowering bourbon aroma and flavour was just too much. I like bourbon, and I like beer, but they don&#39;t go together in my opinion.

The first aromas to hit me are those of grapefruit and oranges, then some cereal malt and yeast. The mouthfeel is thin bodied with below average carbonation. The first thing I taste is tart citrus, and an almost oniony flavour. Not a lot of grains in the flavour, just tart citrus.

The aroma is heavy on the tropical fruit with notes of passion fruit and mango certainly present. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is like the aroma with a heavy emphasis on the tropical fruit flavours and the grains and the bitter hop finish almost an afterthought.

The aroma is citrusy hops, cereal grains, and a hint of spice. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is cereal, grass, and a citrus hop finish. Not quite tropical fruit citrus, and not quite grapefruit citrus. Somewhere in between. A very good blonde ale.
