275ml bottle <br> 6.6% ABV <br> I tried this beer on September 23, 2008 at "Smokeless Joe's" in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer poured black with a thin tan coloured head. The aroma was chocolate and plums. The mouthfeel was full-bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour waas roasted malt, raisins, plums, and chocolate. A little sweet for me.

July 9, 1998<br> Toby’s (Toronto, Ontario, Canada – First Canadian Place)<br> 592ml Draught<br> 5.00% ABV<br> $3.50<br> This is the beer that convinced me that Ales are not for me. I think the aroma is alright, and as for appearance, there is something about beer that looks like coffee that turns me off. Even the flavour wasn't that appealing to me. I found this to be a slightly bitter beverage. Even the mouthfeel felt very thick and strong with little in the way of carbonation. I'm the only person I know who doesn't really like Guinness so it's not you people...it's me.

The aroma is roasted malt, coffee, and notes of vanilla. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation….disappointing for a beer labelling itself as a ‘London Stout’. The flavour is roasted malt and watered down coffee. Not a great beer but not a bad beer. Certainly shows that a ‘large’ Canadian brewer can brew decent beers

The aroma is tangy cranberries, grass, and floral hop scents. The mouthfeel is weak to medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is really just a grainy lager with a hint of tangy cranberries thrown in. The beer was canned 3 weeks ago, but the fruity freshness isn’t there.

March 13, 2019<br> LCBO Outlet #457 (Toronto, Ontario, Canada – Yonge / Eglinton)<br> 473ml can <br> 3.0% ABv <br> Canned On: November 29, 2018<br> $3.15<br> The beer pours a hazy orange colour, reminiscent of C-Plus Orange Soda from the 1980s, with a loose foamy light tan coloured head which doesn’t last. The aroma is dishsoap, oranges, weak herbal hops, and ginger. The mouthfeel is medium bodied, almost powdery, with below average carbonation, which is expected in a radler. You can taste both the fruit and ginger in the flavour, which is rather unique. Again, as a ‘drink’, I would try this again based on flavour alone, but still looking for more beer quality.

The aroma is grass, raspberry jam, milk, and floral hops. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with above average carbonation. The flavour is very fruit forward, a lot of raspberries crossing over the tongue. Also notes of tart fruit, grainy malt, and a weak hop finish. The sweet and tart raspberry flavours drown out any bitter hop notes that may exist.

June 5, 2019<br> LCBO Outlet #457 (Toronto, Ontario, Canada – Yonge / Eglinton)<br> 473ml can <br> 3.0% ABV <br> Canned On: April 22, 2019 <br> $3.15<br> The beer pours a highly hazed golden orange colour with a bubbly white head which lasts a few moments. The aroma is light grass, like, oranges, and ginger. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. There is a lot of lime in the flavour, and next to no beer. As with their other two radlers, this is a great tasting alcoholic juice beverage, but really isn’t beery enough for me to call a radler or shandy.

The aroma was grainy malt, weak earthy hops, hibiscus, and light citrus notes. The mouthfeel was weak to medium bodied with below average carbonation. The flavour was quite fruit forward, with the grainy malt in the background. There was very little bitterness in the finish. An interesting beverage.

The aroma is grains, pineapple, and yeast. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with below average carbonation, as is expected for a radler. The flavour is grass and pineapple. Not a lot going on with this one.

The aroma is a lemon jelly doughnut.with some spices, yeast, and grains. Too much doughnut, not enough beer. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is sickly sweet lemon custard, some metallic grainy notes, and a hint of yeast. I will not buy again!
