128 À La Fût La Rouge de Mékinac Canada Flanders Red 4.1

Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 9 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 8

September 30, 2018<br> LCBO Outlet #255 (Milton, Ontario, Canada – Main / Bronte)<br> 750ml bottle <br> 5.40% ABV <br> $13.50<br> No discernible date code anywhere on the bottle, but it's a Flanders Red, it will still be good to drink in 20 years. I bought myself this as a reward for getting a new job contract. <br> <br> The beer pours a translucent cherry red with a huge generous rocky head, light tan in colour. The sides of the glass display plenty of bubbles. The aroma is very pungent and consists of vinegar tones, tart cherries, and some weak spices. The mouthfeel is light to medium bodied, and heavily carbonated. The flavour is mellower than the aroma with more cherry flavour, both sweet and tart, and well as some smoky oak notes I did not detect in the nose. Not as yeast forward as the better Belgian Flanders Reds but quite good.

November 6, 2014<br> LCBO # 255 (Milton, Ontario, Canada – Main / Bronte)<br> 330ml bottle<br> 7.50% ABV <br> $3.49<br> Part of a Christmas Gift Pack. The beer pours a golden copper colour with a long lasting white rocky film for a head. Aroma is yeast, bready malt, light fruits, and caramel. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is roasted malt, plums, vanilla, and yeast. Quite enjoyable. No notice of the alcohol as found in a previous review.

130 Les 3 Brasseurs The Hopper Canada Blonde Ale 3.3

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

April 27, 2012<br> The 3 Brewers, Yonge Street (Toronto, Ontario, Canada) <br> 592ml Draught<br> 4.50% ABV <br> $6.49<br> The beer was poured a translucent medium gold with a thin white short lived head.

Another decent beer from The 3 Brewers, but far from stellar

131 Les 3 Brasseurs Stout Canada Dry Stout 3.0

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

March 2, 2012<br> The 3 Brewers, Yonge Street (Toronto, Ontario, Canada) <br> 568ml Draught<br> 5.60% ABV <br> $6.49<br> This was the most uninspired stout I have had in a long time. The waitress said it was in the style of a Guinness, and that should have been my cue as I'm not a fan of Guinness. It poured a dark brown with black edges, and a creamy brown head. Aroma was weak roast with some coffee and chocolate in the background. Mouthfeel was weak to medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour was weak roast, weak coffee, and weak chocolate. So, not offensive......but not memorable.

September 19, 2014<br> The 3 Brewers, Yonge Street (Toronto, Ontario, Canada) <br> 530ml Draught<br> 6.00% ABV <br> $6.49<br> The beer poured a golden orange colour with a thick light tan head. Not even close to the copper colour mentioned on the menu (although the accompanying menu picture was close to what was in my stein). The aroma was grains and citrusy hops. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour was grainy malt, citrisy hops, and anise. Eventually the taste was the same as the smell of shoe polish.

March 2, 2012<br> The 3 Brewers, Yonge Street (Toronto, Ontario, Canada) <br> 568ml Draught<br> 5.20% ABV <br> $6.49<br> The beer poured a translucent medium gold colour with a thin snow white head that lasted a while. The aroma was grassy malts, cereal, yeast and some floral hops. Mouthfeel was medium bodiued with medium carbonation. The Les 3 Brasseurs yeast is very distinctive and was very noticeable in the flavour. Smells and tastes like a Belgian strain. Aside from the yeast, the flavour is dominated by the malt.

140 Delirium Tremens Belgium Belgian Strong Ale 3.4

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

June 21, 2007 The Beerbistro (Toronto, Ontario, Canada) <br> 330ml bottle <br> 8.70% ABV <br> $10.60<br> The aroma was malty and the beer was a golden colour. The first mouthfeel provided a soapy taste to it. Future tastes provided less soap and a clove/nutmeg taste. Overall I was pleasantly surprised as the higher alcohol content wasn't as evident as I thought it would be.

June 21, 2007 The Beerbistro (Toronto, Ontario, Canada) <br> 250ml bottle <br> 4.10% ABV <br> $5.90<br> The beer was poured by the waiter. It had a strong unmistakably strawberry aroma that captured me right away. It was a dark red in the glass. The mouthfeel was very champagne like. The taste was very good. A truly enjoyable beer.

142 Pilsner Urquell Czech Republic Bohemian / Czech Pilsener 4.0

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

June 21, 2007 The Beerbistro (Toronto, Ontario, Canada) <br> 330ml bottle <br> 4.40% ABV <br> $5.90<br> This was poured by the waiter and was a nice crystal golden colour in the glass. The aroma was malt, and slightly yeasty. The mouthfeel was crisp as was the flavour. A little carbonation to tickle the tongue always helps. The flavour is grainy malt with a definite hop presence and small yeast presence. I would definitely try this beer again.

143 Big Rock Traditional Ale Canada Amber Ale 2.5

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

September 30, 2006<br> Gift<br> 341ml bottle<br> 5.00% ABV<br> $0.00<br> This was the free beer provided by a participant at the 2006 hockey pool. Decent aroma, but nothing to write home about. Slightly malty. The colour was an almost reddish colour. It felt 'perky' on the tongue, but the favour didn't thrill me.

144 Steam Whistle Pilsner Canada Bohemian / Czech Pilsener 2.2

Aroma: 4 | Appearance: 5 | Mouthfeel: 5 | Flavor: 4 | Overall: 4

September 30, 2006<br> Gift<br> 341ml bottle<br> 5.00% ABV<br> $0.00<br> Well, I'm not sure what to say about this beer. I was introduced to this beer by a friend who brought it to our 20th anniversary hockey pool. There was very little aroma in my opinion and very little flavour. The colour was a very weak translucent yellow. What little aroma there was slightly grassy. The mouthfeel was slightly watery, but with enough carbonation to save it. The taste was very weak in my opinion for a beer labelled as a pilsener. Working a short distance from the brewery itself (the old roundhouse at Toronto's Union Station houses the brewery today) and having watched it being built I was excited to try this beer. Needless to say the lack of aroma and flavour were very disappointing.

145 Sleeman Honey Brown Lager Canada Lager 3.6

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

September 30, 2005<br> Gift<br> 341ml bottle<br> 5.20%<br> $0.00<br> This is great tasting beer. It pours an orangy red colour with a slight head. The aroma is nice and malty with a hint of honey. It works well on the cheeks with mild carbonation (unlike Sleeman Cream Ale which is way too fizzy). The taste is crisp and clear with hints of fruit and honey. Goes down well and tastes great with barbecued ribs.

146 Corona Extra Mexico Pale Lager 1.8

Aroma: 3 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 3 | Flavor: 3 | Overall: 3

October 24, 1999<br> Don Cherry’s Restaurant (Milton, Ontario, Canada)<br> 341ml bottle <br> 4.6% ABV <br> $2.60<br> To me, this is the definition of beer coloured and beer flavoured water. The aroma is very weak. The colour I've only seen before in toilets. And the taste is watery. Like Budweiser, it amazes me how many people order this beer instead of the multitude of great tasting treats in Canadian bars.

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

Brewed under license in Canada by Labatt Brewing Company<br> October 1, 1998<br> Casey’s Restaurant (Toronto, Ontario, Canada – Front Street West)>br> 330ml bottle <br> 5.20% ABV <br> $4.00<br> This is a pleasant beer to drink after work when visiting the pub with friends. The aroma is mild and malty, and not too strong. It pours a nice golden colour with a fair sized white head and looks like a beer should. It is very smooth to the tongue and goes down nicely. It has a mild taste that makes this a very easy beer to drink.

148 Guinness Extra Stout Canada Foreign / Extra Stout 2.8

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

July 9, 1998<br> Toby’s (Toronto, Ontario, Canada – First Canadian Place)<br> 592ml Draught<br> 5.00% ABV<br> $3.50<br> This is the beer that convinced me that Ales are not for me. I think the aroma is alright, and as for appearance, there is something about beer that looks like coffee that turns me off. Even the flavour wasn't that appealing to me. I found this to be a slightly bitter beverage. Even the mouthfeel felt very thick and strong with little in the way of carbonation. I'm the only person I know who doesn't really like Guinness so it's not you people...it's me.

149 Big Rock Grasshopper Wheat Ale Canada American Wheat 2.8

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

August 7, 1997<br> Gift<br> 341ml bottle <br> 5.0% ABV<br> $0.00<br> A beer for a summer vacation, and one of the earliest 'craft' beers I tried. This beer had an aroma that reminded more of rye than wheat. It was a nice golden colour when poured. It is smooth to the tongue and is smooth tasting. I would certainly recommend this beer to somebody wanting to try a decent wheat beer without paying through the nose.

150 Labatt Copper Canada Dunkel / Dark Lager 2.0

Aroma: 4 | Appearance: 4 | Mouthfeel: 4 | Flavor: 4 | Overall: 4

October 1, 1995<br> Don Cherry’s Restaurant (Milton, Ontario, Canada)<br> 341ml bottle <br> 5.5% ABV <br> $2.35<br> This beer was part of a huge national campaign done by Labatt in 1995. They distributed Copper X and Copper Y around the country to various watering holes, and consumers were asked to vote on their favourite. After the winner was declared, the beer lasted all of 5 months on beer store shelves. It was not a big winner. The aroma was metallic in nature and the colour was not all that dark. The taste was rather bland all the way through. A beer that if you blinked, you missed it.
