473ml can <br> 4.7% ABV <br> Canned On: March 19, 2019 <br> LCBO #457 (Toronto, Ontario, Canada – Yonge / Eglinton)<br> May 7, 2019<br> $3.45<br> The beer pours a translucent copper colour with a generous bubbly light tan coloured head. The head lasts several minutes. The aroma is toasted malt, light caramel, yeast, and musty hops. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbnation. The flavour is caramel, burnt toast, weak spices, and a nice bitter finish. Not as good as the FestivalAle in my opinion.

473ml can <br> 4.8% ABV <br> Canned On: February 28, 2019<br> LCBO #010 (Toronto, Ontario, Canada – Summerhill)<br> Gift <br> The beer pours a hazed orange gold colour with a thin white film for a head. There appears to be pulp in the film. The aroma is grains, light yeast, oranges, and weak spicy hops. The mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is watered down orange juice with some alcohol in the mix. This is nothing like the CreamSicles I enjoyed as a kid. I am very disappointed.

The aroma was roasted malt, coffee, vanilla, and the distinct aroma of fresh blueberries. The mouthfeel was medium to full bodied with average carbonation. The flavour was roasted malt, light coffee and vanilla notes. The blueberry flavour was weak, but as the beer warmed up, it became more prominent. Not a bad beer at all.

The aroma is grainy malt, weak pine, , light caramel, and yeast. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is interesting. There is definitely a piney grainy taste, but there is a sweet apple flavour as well. In some way, there is a crweam ale feel to this.

The aroma is grass, tropiocal fruits, slight hints of yeast, and perfume. The mouthfeel was mnedium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour was very similar to a lot of session IPAs using the same hops. A nice balance between tropical fruit sweetness and mildly bitter hops with grassy malt thrown in. Problem is, they are all just ‘meh!’

Effervescence is active. The aroma is grainy malt, some light fruit notes, yeast, and earthy hops. The mouthfeel is medium bodied, crisp, with average carbonation. The flavour has more in common with a Nortgh American blonde ale than it does with either an English Pale Ale or an American pale Ale. Quite grainy with a slightly sweet start leading to a bitter finish. Aside from the grains and the hops, not a lot of complexity here.

Effervescence is decent. The aroma is caramel, biscuit malt, light musty hops, and yeast. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is well balanced with caramel malt, spicy hop, and grains. There is nothing outstanding about this beer, but it is a very good example of a North American take on an EPA.

I smell no coconut, and I taste no coconut. Yet the can claims it is there. Despite that, this was a good tasting beer!

The colour is medium gold, more murky than hazy, with a huge white head which recedes to a creamy film. The aroma is very peachy with notes of grass, light spices, and tropical fruits. The mouthfeel is full bodied with average carbonation. The first thing I taste is alcohol, followed by bitter citrus ring, grass, and finally the peaches come through in the finish. I want to like it, but the alcohol bitterness is hanging around too long.

The aroma is roasted malt, molasses, nuts, and herbal hops. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is a tad on the bitter side. It starts off sweet, but the bitterness overpowers it by the time it reaches the throat. So, a tad thin for a Wee Heavy and a little too bitter for the style.

The aromas are roasted malt, chocolate, nuts, and light coffee hints. The mouthfeel is medium boed with average carbonation. The flavour was milk chocolate, roasted malt, and there were peppery spicy notes in the finish, but that may have been from my lunch. All in all a good beer.

The aroma is grainy malt, maybe a hint of biscuits in there, along with herbal hop notes. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation (despite the excess effervescence). The flavour is very malty with some subtle sweetness at the start giving way to a twinge of bitter hops in the finish. Nothing offensive here, but not worth reaching for again.

The aroma was burnt wood, molasses, whiskey, and roasted malt. The mouthfeel was full bodied with above average carbonation. The flavour lacks the punch of the aroma with notes of roasted malt, some bitter soy sauce notes, dark chocolate, and minor hints of burnt wood and whiskey. While I’m not a fan of in your face barrel aged beers, I do expect there to be some barrel character and this has it, but not enough of it.
