February 6, 1987<br> Gift<br> 341ml bottle <br> 5.0% ABV <br> $0.00<br> This is a classic beer. I remember the commercials as a child with the famed Carlsberg Clydesdales. Haven't seen those in years, makes me wonder if they still have those. This beverage has an alright aroma, typical beer aroma. The colour is a nice golden colour. It has a smooth mouthfeel. The taste is bland, similar to other beers of the style. One thing of note is that this beer tastes better cold than at room temperature.

The aroma was lambic with a twist of lemon. The mouthfeel was SOUR! It was light bodied, champagne-like carbonation - and did I mention it was SOUR! The flavour was overwhelimngly lemon with some sour malt as well. <br> <br> I thought the first mouthful of this was powerful..........little did I know it was the mouthful that was the easiest to tolerate.

The aroma was a pungent mix of grainy malt, hops, and skunk. The mouthfeel was medium bodied, and highly carbonated. The flavour is a nice balance between the hops and the malt, not as grainy as other European pilseners!

The aroma is roasted malt, dark chocolate, and weak hints of marshmallows. Kind of disappointing given how the aroma in the other cans was strong on the specialty flavours. The mouthfeel is weak bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is roasted malt, light notes of coffee and chocolate, and a little more marshmallow in the finish. I’m glad these are done&#33;

After seeing the name, I half expected Allen Iverson to pop out of the can. He didn’t. The beer poured a light straw colour, with plenty of effervescence feeding a quickly disappearing white cap. The aroma was bready balt, some spice, and weak herbal hops. The mouthfeel was weak to medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour was bready malt, weak spice, and a slightly bitter hop finish. There were times I thought that the beer tasted something like a Labatt Blue from the 80s.

The aroma is grainy malt, yeast, and herbal hops. The mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is very grainy with an overly bitter hop finish, and aftertaste. Was hoping for better&#33;

The aroma is dominated by roasted malts and coffee. The mouthfeel is thin to medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is weak roasted malts and coffee with a weak bitter finish. This wasn’t a bad beer until the flavour score killed it&#33;

Brewed in Canada by the Labatt Brewing Company for Goose Island Beer Company&#60;br? 473ml can&#60;br&#62; 4.2&#37; ABV&#60;bv&#62; Canned On: August 22, 2019&#60;br&#62; LCBO Outlet #010 &#40;Toronto, Ontario, Canada – Summerhill&#41;&#60;br&#62; November 9, 2019&#60;br&#62; &#36;2.85&#60;br&#62; The beer pours a hazed gold colour with plenty of effervescence and a rocky white cap. The aroma is weak wheat, cereal grains, light citrus, and funky hops. The mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is vegetal in nature &#40;think green tomatoes&#41;, with hints of wheat and cereal. Not a lot of bitterness in the finish. Not likely to try the Canadian variant anytime soon either.

April 29, 2020<br> LCBO Outlet #649 (Milton, Ontario, Canada - Sobey's Plaza)<br> 473ml can<br> 4.8% ABV<br> Canned On: March 16, 2020<br> $3.25<br> This beer pours a translucent golden orange colour with a huge bubbly cap that acts like a soft drink and is gone within minutes. Not even a film on top. The aroma is tart orange, sour grains, and weak musty hops. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with low carbonation. Flavour is tart orange soda with a hint of alcohol. Drinkable for sure, but not very beer like.

The first thing I smell is lemongrass followed by hints of coconut, wet grass, and light musty hop notes. The lemon grass almost gives it a shoe polish kind of nose. Not a good sign if you want me to drink your beer&#33; The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with average carbonation. The combination of the lemongrass and coconut give the flavour even more of a furniture &#47; shoe polish note. They don’t meld together at all in this beer.

May 26, 2020<br> LCBO Outlet #649 (Milton, Ontario, Canada - Sobey's Plaza)<br> 473ml can<br> 2.5% ABV<br> Canned On: February 11, 2020<br> $2.85<br> The beer pours a translucent light rust colour with a short-lived generous head that quickly recedes to patches of white on top. Aroma is raspberry, fresh bread, and some tartness. Mouthfeel is thin to medium bodied, carbonation is below average. The beer was canned 3 months ago, so maybe a little less than fresh. The flavour is all about the fruit, and there are few, if any, hints that there is a beer base involved. The fact that ‘beer’ is the first ingredient is in itself scary. The pineapple radler will come later.

The beer pours a very hazed golden brown with a very creamy, very large off-whire cap which lasts a few minutes. The aroma is graham crackers, lime, cream, and perfumey hops. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour if this beer is NOT WELL BALANCED between the sweet crust elements and the tart lime flavours. In fact, I think I’ve had enough after only two mouthfuls.

Lacing is decent and effervescence is high. The aroma has a lot of breadiness in it with hints of funk. No grapefruit notes that I can discern. The mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with average mouthfeel. The flavour is yeasty with hints of tropical fruit and cereal grains. This would never be a favourite.

The aroma is one dimensional with hints of roasted malt and coffee. The mouthfeel was medium to full bodied, undercarbonated, and both chalky and creamy. The flavour was as one-dimensional and the aroma with only bitter coffee and roasted malt coming through. For a simple porter, this was boring, yet very bitter. For a pecan Pie porter, this missed the mark completely as there was no pecan pie notes in either the aroma or flavour.

The aroma is grains, citrus, and pine. The mouthfeel is very thin with average carbonation. The flavour mimics the aroma. Overall, this could pass for a watery IPA as the flavour is decent.
