473ml can <br> 5.0% ABV <br> Canned ON: August 27, 2019<br> LCBO Outlet #010 (Toronto, Ontario, Canada – Summerhill)<br> September 28, 2019<br> $3.50 <br> The beer pours a transparent medium gold colour, with orange hues, and a foamy white cap which doesn’t last very long. The aroma is grainy malt, earthy hops, and weak yeast notes. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. While the beer does not look like a Vienna, the flavour reminds you that it is. There is a definite hint of caramel sweetness, with a mildly bitter hop finish. Unfortunately, there is a tartness that also accompanies the sweetness but lingers longer.

335ml can <br> 4.8% ABV <br> Canned On: July 3, 2019<br? LCBO Outlet #457 (Toronto, Ontario, Canada – Yonge / Eglinton)<br> October 1, 2019<br> $3.95<br> The beer pours a translucent ruby red with a thin pink film for a cap. The aroma is tart fruit including cherries, apples, and raspberries with hints of grass, and herbal hops. The mouthfeel is thin to medium bodied with average carbonation. I’m not sure what beer the other reviewers had, but the contents of my can are very tart, so tart it actually tastes like vinegar with weak notes of black currant. I’m not impressed.

The aroma was light on malt with a hint of raspberry. The mouthfeel was very weak...watery and no carbonation. The flavour was a combination of raspberry and coffee.
