651 Radical Road Straight Up (Spring Mango Pineapple Sour) Canada Wild Ale 3.1

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

355ml can <br> 4.5% ABV <br> Canned On:April 16, 2021 <br> LCBO Outlet #649 (Milton, Ontario, Canada - Sobey's Plaza)<br> September 30, 2021 <br> $3.50<br> The beer pours a solid orange gold colour with a frothy white head that disappears within 2 minutes. Lacing is non-existent in this beer. The aroma is light grains, funk, and weak sweet fruit notes. The fruit notes aren’t clearly mango, nor are they clearly pineapple. The mouthfeel is weak bodied, but well carbonated. The flavour is nicely balanced between the grains, the tartness of the fruit, and the sweet notes of the fruit. I quite enjoy this.

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

500ml bottle <br> 5.6% ABV <br> Bottled On: June 4, 2021<br> LCBO Outlet #649 (Milton, Ontario, Canada - Sobey's Plaza)<br> August 23, 2021<br> $7.50<br> The beer pours an extremely hazed medium gold colour, reddish highlights, with a thin white head that eventually becomes a ring. The lacing is decent . The aroma is cereal malts, tart fruits, and yeast. Not a lot of hop aroma here. The mouthfeel was light to medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is grassy malt, tart fruit, and yeast. The beer describes itself as Strawberry Rhubarb but I detect neither in the aroma or the flavour and having made dozens of Strawberry Rhubarb pies over the years, I know strawberry rhubarb quite well.

Effervescence is high, and lacing is decent. The aroma is cereal grains, light pine, yeast, citrus, and earthy hops. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is very grainy, with yeast notes, and a very tart fruity note that doesn’t fit the aroma or the rest of the flavour. Not something I would certainly try again.

It’s actually quite good as a light refreshing drink. Not very beer like, but still something one can reach for when they want a beer.

665 Molson Common Bond Canada Strong Lager 2.8

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

473ml can <br> 6.1% ABV <br> LCBO Outlet #649 (Milton, Ontario, Canada - Sobey's Plaza)<br> August 14, 2021<br> $2.90<br> The beer pours a translucent light copper colour with a creamy tan coloured head and plenty of effervesecnec. The aroma is caramel, rye, grass, and alcohol (is there a reason that the stronger a Molson product gets, the less likely you are to smell any hops?). The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The predominant flavours are caramel and whiskey. The alcohol is definitely noticeable. Interesting, and not as bad as I thought it would be.

Effervescence is very high and lacing is good. The aroma is cereal malts, caramel, pine, and citrus. So far it seems like an old school West Coast IPA. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is a nice mash up of caramel notes, piney flavours, and bitter citrus. Definitely worth trying again.
