2326 Nickel Brook ZAP! Sour IPA (Cranberry and Ginger) Canada Wild Ale 3.8

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

473ml can <br> 5.60% ABV <br> Canned On: December 14, 2021<br> LCBO Outlet #649 (Milton, Ontario, Canada - Sobey's Plaza)<br> March 18, 2022<br> $3.55<br> The beer pours a translucent cranberry red with a creamy white head which lasts a long time and provides a lot of lacing. The aroma is ginger forward with notes of tart cranberries, wet grass, and yeast. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is well balanced between the tartness of the fruit, the ginger flavour, and the grains. I’m not a huge fan of cranberries, but I really like this beer!

2327 Bellwoods Jelly King (Cranberry & Tangerine) Canada Wild Ale 3.6

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

500ml bottle <br> 5.6% ABV <br> Bottled On: December 26, 2021 <br> LCBO Outlet #649 (Milton, Ontario, Canada - Sobey's Plaza)<br> March 19, 2022<br> $7.50<br> The beer pours a golden orange colour with a generous white head which collapses into a thin white ring within seconds. Lacing is non-existent. The aroma is biscuit malts, yeast, tart citrus, and light cranberry. It’s definitely citrus, but it doesn’t say ‘tangerine’ to me. The mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with above average carbonation. The flavour is very tart with both the cranberry and tangerine up front. Not a lot of bitterness in the finish, although it could be washed away by the tartness.

The aroma is grains, tart citrus, mango, and yeast. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation, and quite puckering. The flavour is dominated by the tart fruit notes which eventually give way to light citrus notes. The finish is more tart than bitter.

2330 Longslice Princess Clementine Canada Wild Ale 2.4

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

June 20, 2022<br> LCBO Outlet #649 (Milton, Ontario, Canada – Sobey’s Plaza)<br> 473ml can <br> 5.0% ABV <br> Canned On: March 21, 2022<br> $3.95<br> The beer pours a lightly hazed orange gold colour with a fluffy white head that lasts mere seconds before receding to absolutely nothing. The aroma is weak grassy malt, clementines, and light funk. The mouthfeel is light bodied with slightly above average carbonation. The flavour is light grains, light clementine, and a light tart finish. The lack of a head is disappointing and really ruined the re4st of the experience for me.

July 3, 2022 <br> LCBO Outlet #649 (Milton, Ontario, Canada – Sobey’s Plaza)<br> 473ml can <br> 5.0% ABV<br> $3.50<br> The beer pours a translucent gold colour with high effervescence and a fluffy white head. The head does not last very long and the resulting lacing is minimal. The aroma is grassy malt, funky yeast, and light pineapple notes. The mouthfeel is very puckering and medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is vinegar, funky yeast, with some weak hints of grains and pineapple. Quite a sour!

The aroma is cereal grains, oranges, light tropical citrus, and funky yeast. The mouthfeel is similar to yesterday’s beer in that it forces you to pucker, is medium bodied, and carbonation is average. I can definitely taste the kiwi in the beer, as well as some yeast flavours. The finish is very tart.

2338 Omnipollo Mimmi Mimosa Sweden Wild Ale 3.2

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

473ml can<br> 7.00% ABV<br> Canned On: June 24, 2020<br> LCBO Outlet #649 (Milton, Ontario, Canada - Sobey's Plaza)<br> November 23, 2020<br> $4.50<br> The look and smell of the beer is that or orange juice as it’s a nice opaque orange colour with a very short-lived head, despite a heavy pour. Again, the aroma is all oranges with a hint of perfumey hops and yeast. The mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with a lot of carbonation. The flavour is very much orange juice as well with hints of grass and hops. There is a belly warming alcohol presence in the sense you feel it, but don’t taste it. It smells and tastes good, but not what I want in a beer.

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

473ml can <br> 5.0% ABV <br> Canned On: July 7, 2020<br> LCBO Outlet #649 (Milton, Ontario, Canada - Sobey's Plaza)<br> December 7, 2020<br> $3.75<br> The beer pours a hazed straw gold colour with a generous whire fluffy head which doesn’t last, but leaves a load of lacing around the rim. The aroma is tart citrus, stale cereal grains, and vinegar. The mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is no where as tart as the aroma would suggest. There is a battle between the sweet and tart fruit notes, and the bitterness of the hops shines a bit more.

The aroma is light grains, cereal malt, tart raspberries, and funky yeast. The mouthfeel is puckeringly sour, light bodied, and slightly above average carbonation. The flavour is tart raspberries, grains, and a weak bitter finish. It os labeled as a fruit sour IPA………..definitely a fruit sour, definitely not an IPA

Lacing is decent and effervescence is high. The aroma has a lot of breadiness in it with hints of funk. No grapefruit notes that I can discern. The mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with average mouthfeel. The flavour is yeasty with hints of tropical fruit and cereal grains. This would never be a favourite.

The chocolate and coffee become more evident as the beer warms up. Not a bad sour.

Lacing is erratic, but present. The aroma is tart fruit, vinegar, yeast, and grainy malts. Mouthfeel is medium bodied and amply carbonated. Flavour mimics the aroma with grains and tart fruit. Another solid Bellwoods beer

The aroma is orange, citrus zest, grains, yeast, and funk. The mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with average carbonation.

Aroma is grains, funk, tart citrus, and yeast. Mouthfeel is thin to medium bodied with average carbonation. Flavour is similar to the aroma….quite grainy with tart passion fruit in the mix. Not something I’ll put in regular rotation.
