Aroma: 5 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 5 | Flavor: 5 | Overall: 5 473ml can<br> 5.60% ABV <br> Canned On: August 4, 2020<br> LCBO Outlet #649 (Milton, Ontario, Canada - Sobey's Plaza)<br> February 16, 2021<br> $4.45<br> The beer pours a slightly hazed straw gold colour with a huge pillowy dirty white head. Lacing is decent and effervescence is high. The aroma has a lot of breadiness in it with hints of funk. No grapefruit notes that I can discern. The mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with average mouthfeel. The flavour is yeasty with hints of tropical fruit and cereal grains. This would never be a favourite. |

733 | Side Launch Mule Lager | Canada | Spiced Beer | 2.3
Aroma: 5 | Appearance: 4 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 4 | Overall: 4 473ml can <br> 4.4% ABV <br> Canned On: October 29, 2020<br> LCBO Outlet #649 (Milton, Ontario, Canada - Sobey's Plaza)<br> January 22, 2021<br> $3.45<br> The beer pours a very pale straw colour with a very short lived white head that recedes to very few bubbles. The aroma is dominated by the ginger, but there are notes of earthy hops, cereal malt, and light yeast. It says lime on the can, but I don’t sense any. The mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is awful. The peppery heat overpowers the malt and ginger notes and there is little bitterness in the finish. |

The first whiff is alcohol, followed by caramel malt, yeast notes, and light floral hops. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is burnt caramel, a definite alcohol note, and weak bitter hop finish. I’ve never been all that into Moosehead or Hop City, and this isn’t helping their cause any. |

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 3 | Overall: 4 440ml can<br> 5.40% ABV<br> Canned On: July 22, 2020<br> LCBO Outlet #649 (Milton, Ontario, Canada - Sobey's Plaza)<br> December 7, 2020<br> $3.95<br> I have a confession to make…………………I’ve never had key lime pie. The beer pours a very hazed golden brown with a very creamy, very large off-whire cap which lasts a few minutes. The aroma is graham crackers, lime, cream, and perfumey hops. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour if this beer is NOT WELL BALANCED between the sweet crust elements and the tart lime flavours. In fact, I think I’ve had enough after only two mouthfuls. |

The aroma is tart citrus, stale cereal grains, and vinegar. The mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is no where as tart as the aroma would suggest. There is a battle between the sweet and tart fruit notes, and the bitterness of the hops shines a bit more. |
