1426 Pint Pursuits Lord Of Lupulin Pale Ale Canada American Pale Ale 3.2

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

473ml can <br> 5.4% ABV <br> Main/Bronte LCBO Outlet (Milton, Ontario, Canada) <br> September 7, 2017 <br> $2.95<br> The beer pours a hazed golden red with a generous white head that lingers a while and plenty of effervescence in the glass. The aroma is grapefruit, pine, light caramel, and yeast. The aroma is quite boring to be honest. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with slightly above average carbonation. The flavour is decently hop forward with the citrusy hops in front, the malt is more biscuity in the flavour. There is a dishsoap note in the finish which takes away from the hops.

The aroma is light wisps of caramel, cereals, weak citrus, and light yeast notes. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with a slight creaminess and average carbonation. The flavour is caramel and cereal malts, with a hint of graperuity hops in the finish. Not a bad beer at all.

Not bad, but not something to reach for every time you want a beer.

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

341ml bottle <br> 6.8% ABV <br> Milton Millside Street Beer Store (Milton, Ontario, Canada)<br> April 5, 2016<br> $1.83<br> The beer poured a light golden-red colour with some haze and and a creamy off-white head which lingered a while. The aroma was cereal malt, some light spice, yeast, and floral hops. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour was malt-forward with bready notes, but the finish had a more definied hop presence than any other Molson beer I've tried.

1430 Ace Hill Vienna Lager Canada Vienna / Amber Lager 2.6

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

April 20, 2018<br> LCBO Outlet #255 (Milton, Ontario, Canada – Main / Bronte)<br> 473ml can<br> 5.0% ABV <br> $3.05<br> The beer pours a translucent red-tinged gold colour with a generous foamy white head which quickly recedes to a thin rocky layer of islands. The aroma is very grainy, some herbal hops, and some off-putting acidic notes. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with slightly above average carbonation. The flavour is grains and some bitter hops but for the most part is very non-descript.

1431 Mill Street Hopped and Confused Canada IPA 2.3

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

473ml can <br> 4.7% ABV <br> Main/Bronte LCBO Outlet (Milton, Ontario, Canada) <br> April 20, 2018 <br> $3.25<br> The beer pours a medium urine yellow colour with a thin white film that stands in for a head. Very hazy and very unappealing to look at. The aroma is light tropical fruit, some grass, and some lemony scents. The mouthfeel is watery with below averahe carbonation. Despite biying this 2 days ago, this could be an old beer based on appearance, aroma and mouthfeel. The flavour is grainy malt, tropical fruits, and a weak bitter finish. I don’t expect Mill Street to make world beating beers, especially now that they are under the Labatt (i.e. Anheuser-Busch-Inbev) umbrella, but I do expect better than this.

1432 Lost Craft Sirius Canada American Pale Ale 3.1

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

473ml can <br> 4.9% ABV <br> Main/Bronte LCBO Outlet (Milton, Ontario, Canada) <br> April 20, 2018<br> $3.00<br> The beer pours a hazed caramel amber colour with a generous foamy light tan coloured head that quickly disippates to rocky islamds. The ‘islands’ last awhile. The aroma is tropical fruit, weak caramel, and some biscuit malt tones. The mouthfeel is medium bodies, while carbonation is high. The flavour is very acidic with definite notes of grains and tropical fruit, and with a hint of saltiness. Very weird for the style.

1433 Cowbell Brewing Doc Perdue's Boxing Bruin Canada IPA 2.6

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

473ml can<br> 6.3% ABv <br> Main/Bronte LCBO Outlet (Milton, Ontario, Canada) <br> April 20, 2018 <br> $3.05<br> The beer pours a hazy medium gold colour with absolutely no head. The aroma was papaya, mango, grass, and some mustiness. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with below average carbonation. The flavour was pretty one dimensional with the grass notes up front and the tropical fruit hop flavours in back. Not a lot of bitterness and not a lot of depth.

1434 Sleeman Railside Session Ale Canada Mild Ale 2.6

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 5 | Mouthfeel: 4 | Flavor: 5 | Overall: 5

473ml can <br> 4.2% Abv <br> Canning Date: April 7, 2018<br> Real Canadian Superstore –Main/Thompson (Milton, Ontario, Canada) <br> April 21, 2018 <br> $2.27<br> The beer pours a translucent amber colour with a generous foamy pinkish head which disappears in seconds. The aroma is caramel, grass, and weak floral hops. Not a citrusy note to be noted. The mouthfeel is weak to medium bodied with below average carbonation. Flavour is mild notes of caramel and grass with a weak bitter finish. As the beer is only 14 days from canning, I can’t chalk up the lack of aroma and body to age, only to it being a not so great beer.

The aroma is biscuits, cereals, some citrus, some light fruit, and some herbal hops. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied, slightly creamy, with average carbonation. The flavour tilts towards the malt side of things with notes of bread and cereal, but there is a slight bitter note in the finish.

The aroma is grass, caramel, earthy notes, and herbal hops. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with above average carbonation. The flavour is grainy malt, a citrusy almost Sprite-like taste, and a decent bitter hop finish.

April 23, 2018<br> Real Canadian Superstore #2810 (Milton, Ontario, Canada – 820 Main Street East)<br> 473ml can <br> 5.5% ABV <br> Canned On: September 12, 2017 <br> $2.80<br> The beer pours a hazy copper colour, with a 1” creamy tan coloured head and plenty of effervescence. The aroma is caramel malt, citrus fruit, and pine. A throwback to the IPAs of a decade ago. The mouthfeel is medium bodied, and slightly above average carbonation. The flavour is very well balanced between the grains and caramel malt tones and the citrusy bitterness of the hops. I like this beer and wonder how good it would have been less than 7 months old.

The aroma was roasted malt, coffee, and some vanilla hints. The mouthfeel was thin to medium bodied with below average carbonation. The flavour was roasted malt, nuts, and weak hints of chocolate. I was hoping for better.

1445 Post-Game Brewing Locker Room Lager Canada Pale Lager 1.6

Aroma: 3 | Appearance: 3 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 2 | Overall: 2

473ml can <br> 4.2% Abv <br> Canned On: March 20, 2018 <br> Main/Thompson LCBO Outlet (Milton, Ontario, Canada) <br> April 30, 2018<br> $2.35<br> The beer poured a very clear light gold colour with a very small white ring for a head. Only a month old and no head, not off to a good start. The aroma is very faint with hints of musty grains and herbal hops. The mouthfeel is medium bodied, very crisp, and above average carbonation. The flavour is non-existant. It tastes like highly carbonated water with a hint of grains, just a hint. It’s not ‘off flavours’ like most macro lagers, there just is no discernable flavour. Aside from the mouthfeel, there is nothing to make me think this is a beer.

The aroma is coffee, grass, and some citrusy hops. The mouthfeel is thin to medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is weak coffee, citrusy hops, and light cereal grains. A bit of a disappointment as I was expecting more coffee flavour.

473ml can <br> 5.9% ABV <br> Canned On: July 10, 2018 <br> Main/Bronte LCBO Outlet (Milton, Ontario, Canada)<br> July 31, 2018 <br> $4.95 <br> The beer pours a solid orange colour with a short-lived pulpy head. The aroma is oranges, mango, and grapefruity hops. If it wasn't for the hoppy aroma, this would look and smell like 5 Alive fruit juice. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with a definite low carbonation sensation. The flavour is reminiscent of orange juice that has sat around for a few hours with a bitter hop bite in the finish. This is my first "milkshake IPA" because I have been avoiding the style. Now I know why as my fears were indeed realized.
