355ml corked/capped bottle <br> 3.5% ABV (as marked on bottle) <br> Milton LCBO Outlet #1 (Milton, Ontario, Canada) <br> September 15 2011 <br> The beer poured a transparent ruby red colour with a milky white cap that laced extremely well.

977 Lindemans Cassis Belgium Fruit Lambic 4.5

Aroma: 9 | Appearance: 9 | Mouthfeel: 9 | Flavor: 9 | Overall: 9

250ml bottle <br> 3.50% ABV <br> I tried this on May 20, 2008 at "Smokeless Joe's" in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. This poured a purplish-black with a whitish head, which quickly faded. The aroma was primarily black currant with sour blueberries and grapes in the mix. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied, and highly carbonated. The flavour was a mix of sour grapes, black currants, and finished off with some hoppy bitterness. <br> <br> While this is classified as a beer, it was more of a low-alcohol wine experience......but a great experience.

250ml bottle <br> 3.5% ABV <br> Milton LCBO Outlet #1 (Milton, Ontario, Canada) <br> August 2, 2008 <br> The beer poured a translucent gold colour with a thin white head, and tons of particles. 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.

Aroma: 9 | Appearance: 9 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 4 | Overall: 4

July 27, 2007<br> The Beerbistro (Toronto, Ontario, Canada - 18 King Street East) <br> 355ml bottle<br> 7.00% ABV<br> Bottled On: Unknown<br> $14.00<br> I bought this on the waitress' suggestion (should I get this or Unibroue's Trois Pistoles). It poured coca-cola black into a tulip glass with absolutely no head. The aroma was that of coffee and cherries. The mouthfeel was crisp and full-bodied with a medium level of carbonation. The taste started off good with chocolate and cherries but by the end, it was so tart on the back of the tongue, it was all I could do to finish.

992 Modern Times Fruitlands - Sour Tropical Fruit Gose United States Gose 3.5

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

473ml can &#60;br&#62; 4.8&#37; ABV &#60;br&#62; Canned On: April 29, 2018 &#60;br&#62; LCBO #457 &#40;Toronto, Ontario, Canada – Yonge &#47; Eglinton&#41;&#60;br&#62; May 25, 2019 &#60;br&#62; &#36;3.45&#60;br&#62; The beer was canned over a year ago….so who knows what to expect. It pours a very hazed orange gold with a thin creamy head which slowly recedes to a long lasting ring. The aroma is tart tropical citrus, grains, and funk. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with below average carbonation. The flavour is well balanced between the malted grains and the tart tropical fruit with the tartness lingering on the tongue for a while. Not bad for a year old gose, but I do wonder how it would have been if it was fresher.
