12oz Bottle <br> 4.7% ABV <br> Main/Bronte LCBO Outlet (Milton, Ontario, Canada) <br> May 23, 2015 <br> $2.35<br> The beer pours a translucent metallic gold colour with absolutely no head. The aroma is light fruits, fresh paint, and grains. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with above average carbonation. The flavour is light fruits, honey, and grains. Very sharp on the tongue. Glad this was in the singles bin because I wouldn't want to drink 6.

135 Barnstormer Brewing Billy Bishop Brown Canada Brown Ale 3.4

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

473ml can &#60;br&#62; 3.8&#37; ABV &#60;br&#62; Canned On: &#60;br&#62; LCBO Outlet #010 &#40;Toronto, Ontario, Canada - Summerhill&#41;&#60;br&#62; October 31, 2019&#60;br&#62; &#36;3.50&#60;br&#62; The beer pours a translucent brown colour with a tan coloured head, bubbly, and leaves a little lacing. The aroma is roasted malt, nuts, earthy hops, and light yeast notes. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. I don’t know how to define the taste. There is some definite tartness that bugs me. Not a lot of caramel sweetness as described on the can but there is some definite nuttiness in the flavour, and a bitter finish. Looks good, smells good, but something is lost on the tongue.
