1626 Mad and Noisy Hops and Bolts India Pale Lager Canada Lager 2.7

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 4 | Mouthfeel: 5 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 5

473can <br> 5.3% ABV <br> Maple Leaf Square LCBO Outlet (Toronto, Ontario, Canada) <br> June 29, 2013 <br> The beer pours a grapefruit pinkish-red with a 1" tan coloured cap. The aroma is grainy malt, and vomit. The can says "Not for the faint of hops' but I smelled none. Mouthfeel was light to medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is better than the aroma with grainy mnalt and a slight hop bitterness, still not as bitter as the description on the can would suggest
