The aroma is roasted malt, raspberries, and weak yeast notes. The mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with average carbonation. Very thin for a porter in my opinion.

1546 | Cowbell Brewing Absent Landlord | Canada | Kölsch | 3.2

The aroma is grainy malt, some off-smelling acidic tones, and yeast. The mouthfeel is medium bodied, slightly creamy, and average carbonation. The flavour is grains, cereals, weak hop and yeast notes as well. Kolsch is a style style I neither love nor hate and this does nothing to change that. |

1547 | Cowbell Brewing Doc Perdue's Bobcat / Cowbell Brewing Bobcat | Canada | American Pale Ale | 3.2
Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 5 | Overall: 6 473ml can <br> 5.% ABV <br> Milton LCBO Outlet #1 (Milton, Ontario, Canada) <br> August 15, 2017 <br> The beer pours a translucent cherry red colour with a big bubbly tan coloured cap which slowly recedes to a thin lacing. The aroma is very hop forward with citrusy grapefruit notes dominating the caramel. The mouthfeel is medium bodied, slightly creamy (Cowbell seems to like creaminess in the feel) with average carbonation. The flavour is a miss as I get a Nestea Ice Tea flavour from the beer. Citrusy hops and sweet malt are both present, but neither really dominate the flavour and all I can taste is Nestea flavours. |

1549 | Henderson Brewing Henderson's Best | Canada | Extra Special Bitter | 3.2
Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 6 473ml can <br> 5.4% ABV <br> Main/Thompson LCBO Outlet (Milton, Ontario, Canada) <br> September 7, 2017 <br> $3.05<br> The beer pours a clear crimson colour with a half inch creamy light brown head which takes a minute to reduce to a lacy film on top. The aroma is grainy malt, weak roasted malt, light caramel, and some noble hop notes. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is bready malts with a weak hop bitterness in the finish. Nothing offensive in the aroma or flavour but nothing that says ‘try me again’ |

1550 | 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. |
