604 | Karbon Brewing J. E. D. I. | Canada | IPA | 3.0
Aroma: 5 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 6 473ml can <br> 6.5% ABV <br> Canned On: December 26, 2021<br> LCBO Outlet #649 (Milton, Ontario, Canada - Sobey's Plaza)<br> March 4, 2022<br> $3.45<br> The beer pours a hazed medium gold colour with a very generous off-white cap which quickly dissipates to a weak film on top.

Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 8 473ml can <br> 7.0% ABV <br> Canned On: December 5, 2021 <br> LCBO Outlet #649 (Milton, Ontario, Canada - Sobey's Plaza)<br> March 4, 2022<br> $3.95<br> The beer pours a translucent dark cherry red colour with a thin creamy light tan coloured cap that lasts several minutes. The aroma is roasted malt, molasses, and some floral hops in the background. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is sweet up front with notes of molasses and roasted malt, and finishes with a sharp bitter hop kick. This is a style that more Ontario brewers need to get behind, because when done well like this one, it’s one enjoyable style. |
