1612 | Fenelon Falls Brewing Red Ale | Canada | Amber Ale | 3.2
Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 5 | Overall: 5 473ml can <br> 5.2% ABV <br> Canned On: October 5, 2019<br> LCBO Outlet #010 (Toronto, Ontario, Canada - Summerhill)<br> November 16, 2019<br> $3.50<br> 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. |

The aroma is roasted malt, coffee, vanilla, and that soy sauce note. No noticeable chocolate aromas for this one. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is balanced between the coffee and nutty malty notes. There is a hint of some sweetness, but it is not very strong. |

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 6 473ml can<br> 7.00% ABV<br> Canned On: June 24, 2020<br> LCBO Outlet #649 (Milton, Ontario, Canada - Sobey's Plaza)<br> November 23, 2020<br> $4.50<br> The look and smell of the beer is that or orange juice as it’s a nice opaque orange colour with a very short-lived head, despite a heavy pour. Again, the aroma is all oranges with a hint of perfumey hops and yeast. The mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with a lot of carbonation. The flavour is very much orange juice as well with hints of grass and hops. There is a belly warming alcohol presence in the sense you feel it, but don’t taste it. It smells and tastes good, but not what I want in a beer. |

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 5 | Overall: 5 473ml can <br> 6.5% ABV<br> Canned On: November 23, 2020<br> LCBO Outlet #649 (Milton, Ontario, Canada - Sobey's Plaza)<br> April 7, 2021<br> $3.45<br> The beer pours a deep gold colour, slightly hazed, with a rocky off-white head that lives for a few minutes. The aroma is caramel malt, light citrus, and yeast. The mouthfeel is full bodied with average carbonation. It falls flat on flavour however with the alcohol coming through and dominating the caramel and hop notes. As an aside, the Henderson Brewery actually backs onto the tracks on which the Union Pearson Express runs. |
