1726 | Hop City Boxcar Bock | Canada | Bock | 3.1
Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 5 | Overall: 6 473ml can <br> 6.7% ABV <br> Canned On: July 30, 2020<br> LCBO Outlet #649 (Milton, Ontario, Canada - Sobey's Plaza)<br> December 15, 220<br> $3.20<br> The beer pours a clear copper colour with a generous light tan coloured head that slowly dissipates. 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. |

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. |

The lime in my can was very prominent though. |
