1701 Muskoka Moonlight Kettle Series 2021 - 07: Seanic Route Tropical IPA Canada IPA 3.6

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

473ml can<br> 6.0% ABV<br> Best Before: October 10, 2021 <br> LCBO Outlet #631 (Milton, Ontario, Canada – Main / Thompson)<br> November 9, 2021<br> $3.95<br> The beer pours a hazed medium gold colour with a generous rock white head which dissipates to a film and leaves generous lacing. The aroma is cereal grains, yeast, citrus, and floral hops. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is nicely balanced between the malt and the hops. The finish is bitter. There is a flavour on the tongue I recognize but can’t quite place. A solid beer from the Muskokas.

473ml can <br> 4.0% ABV <br> Canned On: June 10, 2021 <br> LCBO Outlet #649 (Milton, Ontario, Canada - Sobey's Plaza)<br> November 15, 2021 <br> $3.75 <br> The beer pours a translucent cherry red with a bubbly white cap which lasts a few minutes. The aroma is fruit forward, mainly raspberries but there is some vinegar notes, funky yeast and grains. The mouthfeel is medium bodied, puckering, and with average carbonation. The flavour is quite tart and is like the aroma and very raspberry forward. The grains and are also noticeable. No hop bite, just a lingering sour note on the tongue.

1703 Wellington Raked Over IPA Canada IPA 3.1

Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 5

November 15, 2021 <br> LCBO Outlet #649 (Milton, Ontario, Canada - Sobey's Plaza)<br> 473ml can <br> 6.9% ABV <br> Canned On: June 122 2021 <br> $4.25 <br> The beer pours a solid lemon gold colour with orange highlights and a white creamy, rocky head that lasts a few minutes. Nice lacing down the glass. The aroma is light grass, citrus, some weak peppery spice, yeast, and earthy hops. The hoppy earthiness grows as the beer warms. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is multidimensional….the first thing you get is the grassy malts and the fruity citrus, and then you’re hit with the habanero pepper, and from that point on, all you can taste (and feel) is the pepper aspect of this beer.

1704 Muskoka / Vancouver Island Brewing Nanimo Bar Imperial Porter Canada Imperial Porter 3.8

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 9 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 8

750ml bottle <br> 9.0% ABV <br> LCBO Outlet #483 (Toronto, Ontario, Canada - Royal Bank Plaza)<br> November 20, 2021 <br> $15.95 <br> The beer pours a solid black colour with frothy brown head. There is some lacing. The aroma is sweet sugary malt, chocolate, coffee, and vanilla. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is milk chocolate and coffee. I’m not getting the coconut and cream cheese notes I expect from a Nanaimo Bar, although as an Imperial Porter, this is quite good.

1705 Lake Of Bays Tropical Twister Canada Wild Ale 3.1

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

473ml can <br> 3.7% ABV <br> Canned On: <br> LCBO Outlet #649 (Milton, Ontario, Canada - Sobey's Plaza)<br> November 26, 2021 <br> $3.75<br> The beer pours an opaque golden orange with creamy off-white head which lasts several minues and leaves some lacing. The aroma is grass, tart citrus, and yeast. It’s a Cherry Lemon-Lime Sour but I detect no cherry in the aroma. The mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is grassy with definite hints of lime and possibly weak cherry, but hard to say. The can says it has a sour candy swirl in the flavour. I didn’t get it. The lime in my can was very prominent though.

1706 Sawdust City Reunion Tour Black IPA Canada American Black Ale 4.0

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

473ml can <br> 6.50% ABV <br> Canned On: September 2, 2021<br> LCBO Outlet #649 (Milton, Ontario, Canada - Sobey's Plaza)<br> November 29, 2021 <br> $4.24<br> The beer pours a solid black colour with a foamy light brown head, there is some weak lacing. The aroma is roasted malt, weak coffee, and weak citrus. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is better balanced than the aroma with the citrusy hop notes cutting through the malt. A very nice beer, too bad it’s a seasonal, and probably a one-off because this would be a great year round Black IPA.

The head is bubbly, and the beer is full of floaties. The aroma is cereal malt, lime, and funky tart yeast. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation.

The aroma is roasted malt, coffee, and dark chocolate. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is similar to the aroma. Solid stout, no surprises. Considering that the brewery specializes in wild ales, I wasn’t sure what to expect from the stout.

The flavour is a two pronged effort with both the roasted malt and sweet berry flavours attacking the tongue. There is some nice bitterness in the finish. Overall, a good beer!
