526 Muskoka Moonlight Kettle Series 2019 - 04: Honey I'm Bock Canada Bock 3.4

Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 5 | Overall: 6

340ml draught <br> 6.5% ABV <br> C’est What? (Toronto, Ontario, Canada)<br> May 17, 2019 <br> $6.64<br> The beer poured a translucent light amber colour with a creamy light brown head. The colour puts it somewhere between a maibock and a dunkler bock. The aroma is light hints of dark fruit, caramel, roasted malt, earthy hops, and grass. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is unfortunately dominated by notes of alcohol. This overpowers the mild notes of dark fruit, grass, and yeast. Looks good, smells good, tastes not so good.

The flavour is sweet fruit tones, yeast, grains and a hint of the spice. A decent bock.

530 Einbecker Ur-Bock Hell Germany Bock 2.5

Aroma: 4 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 3 | Overall: 4

330ml bottle <br> 6.5% ABV <br> Best Before: March 26, 2021 <br> LCBO Outlet #010 (Toronto, Ontario, Canada - Summerhill)<br> October 17, 2020<br> The beer pours a translucent medium gold colour with a generous white head which sticks around a couple of minutes before leaving some nice lacing in the glass. The aroma is light hints of alcohol, cereal grains, and noble hops. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied, creamy, and has average carbonation. The flavour is alcohol, sweet grains, and an oily bitterness. If somebody handed me this in a glass and didn’t tell me what it was, I would think it is more of a malt liquor, or high ABV North American style lager.

531 Big Rig Hoppin' Maibock Canada Bock 3.0

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

473ml can <br> 5.8% ABV <br> Main/Bronte LCBO Outlet (Milton, Ontario, Canada) <br> May 9, 2016 <br> $2.95<br> The beer pours a translucent light gold colour with a generous bubbly off-white head which lingers around for a while. Aroma is tropical hops notes, light cereal grains, and yeast. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is a bit on the skimpy side with weak hints of tropical fruit, some yeasty notes, and grains. A more flavourful punch would have been nice.

532 DAB Maibock Germany Bock 2.3

Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 5 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 3 | Overall: 3

500ml can <br> 7.00% ABV <br> Canned On: May 16, 2018 <br> Best Before: August 16, 2019 <br> Yonge Eglinton Centre LCBO Outlet (Toronto, Ontario, Canada) <br> August 8, 2018 <br> $2.60<br> The beer pours a translucent gold colour with good effervescence, and with a generous bubbly off-white head that quickly disappears to a light film. The aroma was grains, alcohol, and earthy hops. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour was sweet and grainy with a definite alcohol presence and some old leathery notes. I'm quite surprised that D.A.B. would pass a beer like this off as a Maibock when it more closely resembles a beer like the Crest and Faxe 10% strong lagers. I rarely drain-pour a beer, and I can't remember the last time I did it, but add this beer to the short list of my drain-pours (I almost feel sorry for the drain).

533 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.

537 Paniza Brewing Premium Pilsner Canada Bohemian / Czech Pilsener 2.7

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 5 | Mouthfeel: 5 | Flavor: 5 | Overall: 5

473ml can <br> 5.0% ABV <br> LCBO Outlet #631 (Milton, Ontario, Canada – Main / Thompson)<br> May 7, 2021<br> $3.00<br> The beer pours a pale straw gold colour with plenty of effervescence and a huge bubbly head that is short lived. The aroma is grainy malt, noble hops, and yeast. Very clean aroma for a non-macro bargain lager. The mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is very malty, the hoppish finish is barely detectable in the flavour. There is absolutely no indication on the can when it was packaged, and it has sat in the back of the beer fridge for 5 months so this could be an old beer, but nothing spectacular enough to make me want to try it again.

Effervescence is high. The aroma is grainy malt, earthy hops, and light yeast. The mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is well balanced between the malt and the hops. Cereal malts followed by a mildly bitter finish. Worth trying again.
