1629 | Steam Whistle Lemon Shandy | Canada | Fruit Beer | 3.2
Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 6 473ml can <br> 2.5% ABV <br> Canned On: June 1, 2021 <br> LCBO Outlet #649 (Milton, Ontario, Canada - Sobey's Plaza)<br> August 20, 2021<br> $3.15<br> The beer pours a translucent light to medium gold colour with a generous white fluffy head which dissipates within 2-3 minutes. The aroma is grains, cereal malts, light lemon zest, and spicy hops. The mouthfeel is light bodied, slightly puckering, with average carbonation. The flavour is dominated by the lemon flavour. It’s actually quite good as a light refreshing drink. Not very beer like, but still something one can reach for when they want a beer. |

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 5 | Overall: 5 473ml can <br> 6.5% ABV <br> Canned On: July 21, 2021<br> LCBO Outlet #649 (Milton, Ontario, Canada - Sobey's Plaza)<br> August 23, 2021<br> $3.45<br> The beer pours a translucent light gold colour with a creamy white head which lingers. Effervescence is high, and lacing is decent. The aroma is cereal grains, light pine, yeast, citrus, and earthy hops. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is very grainy, with yeast notes, and a very tart fruity note that doesn’t fit the aroma or the rest of the flavour. Not something I would certainly try again. |

The aroma is grassy malts, lots of citrusy orange notes, and yeast. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is a let down however, while there is a nice balance between the grassy flavours and the tart fruity flavours, there is a definite boozy note that takes it all away. The finish is dry |

The aroma is sweet and tart raspberries, biscuit grains, and apples. The mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with average carbonation.
