The beer pours a dark brown colour with a fluffy off-white head that is about 1cm thick. The aroma is funky yeast, roasted malt, and caramel. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is sweet caramel malt, some molasses notes, which I expect in a 90 Shilling / Scotch Ale, and a bitter hoppishness in the finish. A pleasant beer.

The aroma is soy sauce (not good when it’s the first smell in an Imperial Stout), roasted malt, dark chocolate, and coffee. The ingredients list raspberries and cherries but I’m not feeling them as part of the aroma. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is bitter chocolate, roasted malt, with coffee and soy notes in the background. Being a supporter of Bar Hop, this beer is a huge disappointment and hopefully the draught version is better.

This clearly a British style IPA with the emphasis on ‘clearly’ as there isn’t a speck of haze in the glass. The beer pours a translucent metallic gold colour with a thin white film for a head. Swirling the beer for a few seconds generates a 1” foamy off-white head. The aroma is grainy malt, some musty hops and some floral hops, and yeast. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is grainy malt up front, some acidic tones, and a bitter citrusy hop finish. Hard to detect the citrus in the aroma but it is definitely there on the palate.

The beer pours a translucent dark mahogany colour with a creamy light brown head which lasts a few minutes. The aroma is roasted malt, oats, vanilla, and coffee. The mouthfeel is full bodied, creamy, with average carbonation. The flavour starts off sweet with grains, dark chocolate, and molasses before finishing with a light bitter note.

The aroma was biscuity grains, earthy hops, and some yeasty notes. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with above average carbonation. The flavour was biscuits and cereal, with some dishsoap notes and a weak finish. Not their best effort.

340ml draught <br> 5.5% ABV (as marked on menu) <br> C’est What? (Toronto, Ontario, Canada)<br> November 23, 2018 <br> $6.19<br> The beer poured a solid black colour with a thin brown ring for a head. The aroma was burnt wood, almost barrel like notes, roasted malt, dark chocolate, and some tart fruit. The mouthfeel was thin to medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour was sour funk with notes or roasted malt and coffee. An interesting beer, but not something I would reach for again.

The aroma is very citrusy, grapefruit in particular with hints of light spices and grass. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is more grass than citrus with a bitter citrusy hop finish. Enjoyable.

The aroma is tangy cranberries, grass, and floral hop scents. The mouthfeel is weak to medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is really just a grainy lager with a hint of tangy cranberries thrown in. The beer was canned 3 weeks ago, but the fruity freshness isn’t there.

The beer pours a translucent dark reddish brown with a creamy light brown head which lasts. There are seasonal spices and dark fruit in the aroma along with yeast, grains, and molasses. The mouthfeel is full bodied, creamy, with average carbonation. The flavour is more sweet than bitter with the sweet sugary flavours coming through with the spices. The finish is both spicy and bitter at the same time. A well made holiday Belgian style ale that will do in a pinch if you can’t get a Corsedonk or St. Bernardus Christmas ale.

The beer pours a hazed medium gold colour with a thick bubbly head that is short lived as are all Macro beer caps. The aroma is stale grains, metallic notes, and cardboard. No wheat or spices. Is it age, or just bad beer? The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is definitely wheat with bubblegum in the mix. Still not a lot of spice or hop notes on the tongue. It certainly tastes better than it smells, and to be honest is quite a bit better than some craft witbiers here in Ontario.

The aroma is stale grains, weak grass, cardboard, and some musty hops. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is grainy and acidic. There is a weak hop bite in the finish, but not enough to make this a ‘good beer’.

The aroma is light wheat, stale grains, light citrus, and musty hops. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is sweet wheat, musty hops, and yeast. Certainly not the best version of the style.

The aroma is grapefruit, light caramel, grass, and dish soap. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour was toasted caramel malt, grapefruity hops, and nicely balanced between the two.

The aroma is grains, herbal hops, and weak tropical fruit notes. The mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with below average carbonation. The flavour is nicely balanced between the grains and the hops, but both flavours are weak leaving this beer as flavoured water with a hint of alcohol. Quite disappointed.

Can’t say I’ve ever seen a red pilsner before. The aroma is very grainy with some earthy hops thrown into the mix. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is typical pilsner flavour with grainy malt, a little spice, and a bitter hop finish. I am quite surprised given the colour of the beer that there are no caramel or sweet malt flavours.

The aroma was caramel, earthy hops, and grass. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour was as the aroma would indicate.

The aroma was fruit juice (orange and grapefruit) and grains. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with above average carbonation. The flavour was akin to fruit juice with alcohol, with the juice tones being grapefruit and passion fruit. Not a fan of the style as they are more like alcoholic fruit juice than beer.

The aroma is tropical fruit notes such as mango and passion fruit, some grains, and some musty notes. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is dry with a definite white grapefruit bent, there are also weak notes of grapefruit skin, some grass, and a little spiciness. Interesting.

The aroma is roasted malt, dark fruits, chocolate, and coffee. Smells amazing. The mouthfeel is full bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is similar to the aroma with a definite woody taste thrown in. Chocolate flavour is milk chocolate more than dark chocolate. I like the beer, although the flavour doesn’t live up to the promise of the aroma.

The aroma is light brown, foamy, and providing good lacing. The aroma is dark fruits, coffee, chocolate, and roasted malt. The mouthfeel is full bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is roasted malt, dark fruit, and there is a chalky flavour as well. A pretty good take on an American style by a Trappist entity.
