626 Collingwood Brewery FreeStyle Series: Key Lime Sour Canada Witbier 2.9

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

473ml can <br> 4.00% ABV <br> Canned On: June 21, 2021 <br> LCBO Outlet #649 (Milton, Ontario, Canada - Sobey's Plaza)<br> December 20, 2021 <br> $3.50<br> The beer pours a hazed gold colour, with some green hues. The head is bubbly, and the beer is full of floaties. The aroma is cereal malt, lime, and funky tart yeast. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is very lime forward, very tart, with a light cereal malt backbone. A bit too much lime for me.

633 Sawdust City Reunion Tour Black IPA Canada American Black Ale 4.0

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

473ml can <br> 6.50% ABV <br> Canned On: September 2, 2021<br> LCBO Outlet #649 (Milton, Ontario, Canada - Sobey's Plaza)<br> November 29, 2021 <br> $4.24<br> The beer pours a solid black colour with a foamy light brown head, there is some weak lacing. The aroma is roasted malt, weak coffee, and weak citrus. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is better balanced than the aroma with the citrusy hop notes cutting through the malt. A very nice beer, too bad it’s a seasonal, and probably a one-off because this would be a great year round Black IPA.

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

The aroma is grass, tart citrus, and yeast. It’s a Cherry Lemon-Lime Sour but I detect no cherry in the aroma. The mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is grassy with definite hints of lime and possibly weak cherry, but hard to say. The can says it has a sour candy swirl in the flavour. I didn’t get it. The lime in my can was very prominent though.

There is some lacing. The aroma is sweet sugary malt, chocolate, coffee, and vanilla. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is milk chocolate and coffee.
