1026 Whitewater Brewing Peanut Butter and Raspberry Shake Canada Milk Stout 3.5

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

March 11, 2022<br> LCBO Outlet #649 (Milton, Ontario, Canada - Sobey's Plaza)<br> 473ml can <br> 4.50%<br> Canned On: November 16, 2021<br> $3.95<br> The beer pours a solid coca-cola colour with a creamy light tan coloured head which lasts a while and leaves some good lacing down the glass. The aroma is peanut forward with grassy malts and coffee in the mix. I don’t get any raspberry whatsoever. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with average carbonation. The raspberry does come through in the flavour, but is still very light and lost in the mix of chocolate and peanuts. Finish isn’t very bitter at all.

1028 Nickel Brook ZAP! Sour IPA (Cranberry and Ginger) Canada Wild Ale 3.8

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

473ml can <br> 5.60% ABV <br> Canned On: December 14, 2021<br> LCBO Outlet #649 (Milton, Ontario, Canada - Sobey's Plaza)<br> March 18, 2022<br> $3.55<br> The beer pours a translucent cranberry red with a creamy white head which lasts a long time and provides a lot of lacing. The aroma is ginger forward with notes of tart cranberries, wet grass, and yeast. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is well balanced between the tartness of the fruit, the ginger flavour, and the grains. I’m not a huge fan of cranberries, but I really like this beer!

1029 Bellwoods Jelly King (Cranberry & Tangerine) Canada Wild Ale 3.6

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

500ml bottle <br> 5.6% ABV <br> Bottled On: December 26, 2021 <br> LCBO Outlet #649 (Milton, Ontario, Canada - Sobey's Plaza)<br> March 19, 2022<br> $7.50<br> The beer pours a golden orange colour with a generous white head which collapses into a thin white ring within seconds. Lacing is non-existent. The aroma is biscuit malts, yeast, tart citrus, and light cranberry. It’s definitely citrus, but it doesn’t say ‘tangerine’ to me. The mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with above average carbonation. The flavour is very tart with both the cranberry and tangerine up front. Not a lot of bitterness in the finish, although it could be washed away by the tartness.

The aroma is cereal malt, grapefruit notes, and earthy hops. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is hop forward with grapefruit notes galore, the malt and yeast notes are in the background. There is a tart berry note in the finish that ruins what otherwise is a very good beer.

1031 Rally Extra Mile (Low-Cal) Session IPA Canada IPA 2.5

Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 5 | Flavor: 4 | Overall: 4

April 5, 2022<br> LCBO Outlet #649 (Milton, Ontario, Canada – Sobey’s Plaza)<br> 355ml can <br> 3.5% ABV <br> Canned On: September 8, 2021<br> $3.15<br> The beer pours a hazed yellow colour with a generous white bubbly head which lasts a few minutes before finishing as a long lasting film on top. The aroma is bready grains, lots of orangy citrus notes, and yeast. The mouthfeel is thin to medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is not to my liking. It tastes like a weak iced tea with cereal malts mixed in. A bit overpriced at $3.15 for a 355ml can if you ask me (and you may not be aware of it…but you did ask!)
