926 Central City Red Racer Low Rider Raspberry Canada Fruit Beer 3.6

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

473ml can<br> 3.5% ABV <br> Canned On: October 10, 2018 <br> LCBO # 457 (Toronto, Ontario, Canada – Yonge / Eglinton)<br> May 8, 2019<br> $2.45<br> The beer pours a slightly hazed cherry red colour with a long lasting creamy light tan coloured head. 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.

927 Ace Hill Lime Radler Canada Fruit Beer 2.5

Aroma: 4 | Appearance: 4 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 4

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.

928 Mill Street Kombucha Radler Canada Fruit Beer 2.7

473ml can &#60;br&#62; 3.0&#37; ABV &#60;br&#62; Canned On: June 24, 2019&#60;br&#62; LCBO Outlet #649 &#40;Milton, Ontario, Canada – Louis Saint Laurent &#47; Bronte&#41;&#60;br&#62; July 27, 2019&#60;br&#62; &#36;3.60&#60;br&#62; The beer pours a murky medium gold with a generous fluffy white head that lasts a while, but doesn’t provide a lot of lacing. 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 was heavy on the side of candied cherries, some light honey notes, grains,and yeast. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour was very well balanced between sweet cherry notes, and tart cherry notes. There was a bit of graininess and a hint of alcohol, but this was a delicious beer nonetheless.

Had as &#39;Broadhead Blue Print Blueberry Blonde&#39; &#60;br&#62; 473ml can &#60;br&#62; 5.0&#37; ABV &#60;br&#62; Canned On: July 23, 2018&#60;br&#62; Main &#47; Bronte LCBO Outlet &#40;Milton, Ontario, Canada&#41; &#60;br&#62; October 12, 2018&#60;br&#62; &#36;3.25&#60;br&#62; The beer pours a very translucent metallic gold colour with a generous white head which doesn’t last very long. As you pour the beer, the unmistakable smell of blueberries permeates the air. The aroma is blueberries, grainy malt, and musty hops….almost like stale blueberry eggos. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is grainy malt with a bitter hop finish and a hint of blueberry. Blueberry beers always disappoint.

934 Pump House Crafty Radler Canada Fruit Beer 3.0

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

473ml can &#60;br&#62; 4.0&#37; ABV &#60;br&#62; Milton &#47; Bronte LCBO Outlet &#40;Milton, Ontario, Canada&#41; &#60;br&#62; October 19, 2018 &#60;br&#62; &#36;3.35&#60;br&#62; The canned on &#47; best before date is rather cryptic. The beer pours a golden pink colour with a bubbly white head which quickly disappears into a lively white film. The aroma is pink grapefruit, light wheat notes, and grass. The mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is pink grapefruit juice with a hint of alcohol. Quite possibly the least beery radler I’ve ever had.

Aroma: 5 | Appearance: 5 | Mouthfeel: 4 | Flavor: 5 | Overall: 5

October 20, 2018 <br> LCBO Outlet #255 (Milton, Ontario, Canada – Main / Bronte) <br> 473ml can <br> 4.90% ABV <br> Canned On: July 19, 2018<br> $3.15<br> The beer pours a murky grapefruit colour with a generous white head which disappears right before your eyes. The aroma is more herbal than fruit, although one can detect notes of citrus, especially oranges, and there are milky notes. The aroma is pleasant, but nothing like a beer should smell like. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with high carbonation, and I’m talking soft drink carbonation levels. The flavour is fruity with notes of orange, grapefruit, and lime and a touch of grainy malt. As a beer, this isn’t what I was hoping for, but it would make a great summer cooler/alcoholic soft drink for those who are into that sort of thing. .

936 Railway City Cranberry Festive Lager / Railway City Merry and Bright Cranberry Lager Canada Fruit Beer 3.1

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

473ml can &#60;br&#62; 5.50&#37; ABV &#60;br&#62; Canned On: November 1, 2018 &#60;br&#62; LCBO # 255 &#40;Milton, Ontario, Canada – Main &#47; Bronte&#41; &#60;br&#62; November 21, 2018&#60;br&#62;&#36;3.69&#60;br&#62; The beer pours a slightly hazed light copper colour with a light tan coloured head that quickly recedes to a ring. 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.

937 Ace Hill Winter Radler Canada Fruit Beer 3.2

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

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.
