1306 Lake Of Bays NHL Alumni Signature Series: Cujo Imperial Golden Ale Canada Strong Ale 3.2

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 5 | Overall: 6

750ml bottle <br> 8.0% ABV <br> Milton LCBO Outlet #1 (Milton, Ontario, Canada) <br> May 10, 2014 <br> The beer pours a translucent golden-red with a half inch white head that quickly settles down. Aroma is grainy with some sweet and spicy notes. Mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with average carbonation. Quite possibly the fullest bodied golden ale I've had. Flavour is not my cup of tea. Very acidic and a leathery note predominates, while hints of grains and caramel are hidden. Not something I would try again.

That is the best way to describe this radler. Quite a lot of effervescence leading to a thin white ring for a head. Aroma is earthy grains, tart fruit, and sugary milk. The mouthfeel is thin bodied, almost spritzy, with above average carbonation. The flavour is milky and fruity all at the same time. Not an enjoyable radler by any stretch.
