1851 Black Creek Montgomery's Courage Canada Rye Beer 3.0

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

500ml bottle <br> 5.0% ABV <br> Main/Bronte LCBO Outlet (Milton, Ontario, Canada) <br> June 17, 2013 <br> $3.95<br> The beer pours a translucent scarlet red colour with ruby highlights and a this white ring for a head. The aroma was burnt toast, some sweet malt, and a weak hint of hops. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. Flavour was burnt toast, and sweet malt. Not much rye character in this beer. More like a brown ale gone wrong.

Aroma is light yeast, weak apple, and funky grains. Mouthfeel is thin bodied and carbonation is high, but typical for style. The flavour is light apple and weak grains.

1860 Beau's All Natural Lug Tread Lagered Ale 2.5% Canada Light / Lite Lager 3.0

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

473ml can <br> 2.5% ABV <br< Canned On: October 30, 2020<br> LCBO Outlet #255 (Milton, Ontario, Canada – Main / Bronte)<br> February 25, 2021<br> $3.15<br> The beer pours a translucent gold colour with a huge frothy white head which only lasts a few minutes. Nice to see a non-hazy beer. The aroma is grainy malt, herbal hops, and plenty of yeasty notes. There is definitely a bready character here. The mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with average carbonation, most certainly a crisp mouthfeel. The flavour is grainy malt, offset by some hop bitterness. While I find Beau’s to be all over the place with their beers, they set out to create a low alcohol product that tastes like beer, and they’ve succeeded. It’s still not my cup of tea so to speak.

The aroma is grainy malt, some light caramel notes, light pine, citrus, and tropical fruits. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with average carbonation. The first flavour that hits the tongue is tart fruit, as it sits on the tongue, some sweetness slowly evolves. Not something I would drink regularly, fortunately it’s Flying Monkeys so it is probably a one-off.
