1001 | Collective Arts Collective Project: Gose (Guava) | Canada | Gose | 2.7
Aroma: 4 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 4 | Overall: 5 473ml can <br> 4.90% Abv <br> Canned On: September 12, 2018 <br> LCBO # 255 (Milton, Ontario, Canada – Main / Bronte) <br> December 1, 2018<br> $3.95<br> The beer pours a murky orange-gold colour with a generous white head that takes a while to dissipate. The aroma is Tuscan ham (yes, I said Tuscan ham), citrus, and yeast. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is very tart, so tart that I can’t recognize what the underlying fruit is. I swear I taste chopped Vidalia onions in this – and I hate onions. This is certainly not my favourite Collective Arts beer |

1006 | Lindemans Gueuze Cuvee Rene | Belgium | Gueuze | 4.3
Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 9 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 9 | Overall: 9 355ml bottle <br> 5.3% ABV <br> I tried this beer on November 19, 2008 at "Smokeless Joe's" in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer poured a clouded golden-orange into the glass with almost no head whatsoever. Effervescence was on display. The aroma was sour, and musty. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied, with medium-carbonation....although that may have been lost in the pucker. The flavour was malty with some possible green apple hints. Very tart. Definitely worth trying. |

The mouthfeel was dry, very tart, highly carbonated, and medium bodied. The flavour was tart apples, and some graininess. Very enjoyable. |
