801 Double Trouble Hops and Robbers Sucker Punch IPA Canada IPA 3.7

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

473ml can <br> 6.50% ABV<br> Best Before: August 25, 2020<br> Real Canadian Superstore - Main/Thompson (Milton, Ontario, Canada) <br> September 4, 2020 <br> $3.27<br> The beer pours a very hazed metallic gold colour with high effervescence. The head is white, rocky, about 1/8 inch thick, and lasts a long time. The aroma is funky yeast in all its’ glory, with lighter hints of tart berries, grass, and earthy hops. The mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is tart fruit, so tart it takes the tongue a few seconds to recover. Once the tongue recovers one discovers a white wine flavour with the yeast prevalent. Interesting beer!

802 Exchange Brewery No. 7.1 White IPA Canada Witbier 3.3

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

473ml can <br> 6.8% ABV <br> Canned On: July 25, 2019<br> Real Canadian Superstore - Main/Thompson (Milton, Ontario, Canada) <br> September 4, 2020 <br> $4.26<br> The beer pours a slightly hazed dark gold with a short-lived thin rocky white head. The aroma is light wheat, light spices, baby powder (yes, I smell baby powder), and earthy hops. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is wheat, and the alcohol is certainly noticeable. The alcohol gives the beer a far more bitter flavour than I like to see in the ‘white IPA / hopped witbier’ realm.

The head does not last very long. The aroma is pine resin, grass, light citrus, and musty hops. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation.

804 Collective Arts / Aslin Brewing Collective Project: IPA No. 13 Canada Imperial IPA 3.3

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

473ml can<br> 8.10% ABV<br> Canned On: June 17, 2020<br> LCBO Outlet #649 (Milton, Ontario, Canada - Sobey's Plaza)<br> August 24, 2020<br> $4.55<br> A collaboration beer. The beer pours a hazed light gold with a generous off-white head which lasts a few minutes. The aromas are grass, tart fruit, yeast, and herbal hops. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is grass, light citrus, and yeast. I’m not tasting a whole lot in this beer, it is a rather flat IPA. Not very grainy, and not very hoppy.

805 Collective Arts Sour: Mango Tangerine Canada Wild Ale 3.6

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

473ml can<br> 6.00% ABV<br> Canned On: March 23, 2020<br> LCBO Outlet #649 (Milton, Ontario, Canada - Sobey's Plaza)<br> August 24, 2020<br> $4.25<br> The beer pours a hazy orange crush like appearance with a huge short-lived pillowy white head. The aroma is grainy malt (I think I detect wheat), orange, tangerine, and lots of yeast. It smells like my old graduate lab bench in many ways. I might have been on to something 30 years ago and didn’t realize it. The mouthfeel is thin to medium bodied with below average carbonation. The flavour is tart oranges and yeast. It was canned 5 months ago today so that may have taken out whatever sweet flavours there might have been – but it is Collective Arts, so who knows?

The aroma is pine, grass, citrus, and perfumy hops. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour mimicked the hops with some perfumy type flavours masking the grains. Not a beer I’ll try again anytime soon.

473ml can<br> 4.5% ABV<br> LCBO Outlet #649 (Milton, Ontario, Canada - Sobey's Plaza)<br> July 3, 2020<br> $3.50<br> The cider pours a clear light gold colour with orange highlights. There is a thin white ring for a head, and excessive tiny bubble effervescence…..Don Ho would be proud! The aroma is ripe peaches, and light yeast. The mouthfeel is very much like a carbonated soda, overly carbonated and lively. The flavour is sweet peach. It boils down to this as being, in my opinion, an alcoholic peach soda…..and I can live with that!

The head lasts a while but there is no lacing. The aroma is dominated by sweet mango notes with wheat, cereal, and light spices in the mix. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is a battle between the mango and the wheat and the loser was my tongue. There is a bitter flavour I can’t put my finger on but it kills the beer.
