1576 Lost Craft Eclipze Canada IPA 3.4

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

473ml can<br> 6.0% ABV <br> Canned On: August 12, 2019<br> LCBO Outlet #010 (Toronto, Ontario, Canada – Summerhill)<br> October 30, 2019 <br> $3.25<br> The beer pours a hazy golden orange colour with a generous white head. The aroma is light pine, citrus, yeast, and cereal. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with slightly above average carbonation. The flavour is very grainy, with hints of lactose, citrus and yeast. The lactose almost gives it an egg white flavour. Quite easy drinking.

1578 Barnstormer Brewing Billy Bishop Brown Canada Brown Ale 3.4

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

473ml can &#60;br&#62; 3.8&#37; ABV &#60;br&#62; Canned On: &#60;br&#62; LCBO Outlet #010 &#40;Toronto, Ontario, Canada - Summerhill&#41;&#60;br&#62; October 31, 2019&#60;br&#62; &#36;3.50&#60;br&#62; The beer pours a translucent brown colour with a tan coloured head, bubbly, and leaves a little lacing. The aroma is roasted malt, nuts, earthy hops, and light yeast notes. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. I don’t know how to define the taste. There is some definite tartness that bugs me. Not a lot of caramel sweetness as described on the can but there is some definite nuttiness in the flavour, and a bitter finish. Looks good, smells good, but something is lost on the tongue.

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

473ml can &#60;br&#62; 7.0&#37; ABV &#60;br&#62; Canned On: August 12, 2019 &#60;br&#62; LCBO Outlet #483&#40;Toronto, Ontario, Canada – Royal Bank Plaza&#41;&#60;br&#62; November 6, 2019&#60;br&#62; &#36;3.25&#60;br&#62; The beer pours a murky golden-orange colour with a creamy generous off-white head which lasts a few minutes. The aroma is funky yeast, grains, citrus, and spices. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is fruit forward, and in some respects is more ;witbier’ than ‘saison’. Although the aroma dispels that notion. An enjoyable Ontario saison.

The aroma is cereal malt, tropical and citrus fruits, weak pine notes, and weak musty hops. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied, slightly creamy, and average carbonation. The flavour is nicely balanced between the malt, pine, and citrus flavours finishing with a mild bitter finish. I am impressed.

Very drinkable.

1589 Fenelon Falls Brewing Red Ale Canada Amber Ale 3.2

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 5 | Overall: 5

473ml can &#60;br&#62; 5.2&#37; ABV &#60;br&#62; Canned On: October 5, 2019&#60;br&#62; LCBO Outlet #010 &#40;Toronto, Ontario, Canada - Summerhill&#41;&#60;br&#62; November 16, 2019&#60;br&#62; &#36;3.50&#60;br&#62; The beer pours a translucent amber colour with a long lasting light tan coloured head. The aroma is biscuit malt, roasted nuts, caramel, and earthy hops. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with slightly above average carbonation. The flavour….is a letdown. Lots of caramel flavour, and lots of dishsoap flavour. Not a good balance. Weak bitter finish doesn’t help the cause at all.

1590 Danforth Brewery Viaduct IPA Canada IPA 3.8

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

The aroma is grassy malts, pine, grapefruity hops, light yeast, and caramel. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The grapefruit, pine, and caramel notes dominate the flavour and the finish is quite bitter. This is my kind of IPA.

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

473ml can <br> 5.0% ABV <br> Canned On: July 7, 2020<br> LCBO Outlet #649 (Milton, Ontario, Canada - Sobey's Plaza)<br> December 7, 2020<br> $3.75<br> The beer pours a hazed straw gold colour with a generous whire fluffy head which doesn’t last, but leaves a load of lacing around the rim. The aroma is tart citrus, stale cereal grains, and vinegar. The mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is no where as tart as the aroma would suggest. There is a battle between the sweet and tart fruit notes, and the bitterness of the hops shines a bit more.

1593 Mill Street Key Lime Pie IPA (Nitro Charged) Canada IPA 2.6

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 3 | Overall: 4

440ml can<br> 5.40% ABV<br> Canned On: July 22, 2020<br> LCBO Outlet #649 (Milton, Ontario, Canada - Sobey's Plaza)<br> December 7, 2020<br> $3.95<br> I have a confession to make…………………I’ve never had key lime pie. The beer pours a very hazed golden brown with a very creamy, very large off-whire cap which lasts a few minutes. The aroma is graham crackers, lime, cream, and perfumey hops. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour if this beer is NOT WELL BALANCED between the sweet crust elements and the tart lime flavours. In fact, I think I’ve had enough after only two mouthfuls.

The aroma has some wet grass, pineapple, tangerine, and earthy hops. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is dominated by the fruit notes, but the grains can be detected. Not very bitter in the finish.

The first whiff is alcohol, followed by caramel malt, yeast notes, and light floral hops. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is burnt caramel, a definite alcohol note, and weak bitter hop finish. I’ve never been all that into Moosehead or Hop City, and this isn’t helping their cause any.

The flavour is tart raspberries, grains, and a weak bitter finish. It os labeled as a fruit sour IPA………..definitely a fruit sour, definitely not an IPA
