The beer pours a very hazed golden brown with a very creamy, very large off-whire cap which lasts a few minutes. The aroma is graham crackers, lime, cream, and perfumey hops. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour if this beer is NOT WELL BALANCED between the sweet crust elements and the tart lime flavours. In fact, I think I’ve had enough after only two mouthfuls. |

388 | Folly Heist | Canada | Wild Ale | 2.8

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. |

389 | Mill Street Hopped and Confused Volume 2 | Canada | IPA | 3.5
Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7 473ml can<br> 4.70% ABV<br> Canned On: July 6, 2020<br> LCBO Outlet #649 (Milton, Ontario, Canada - Sobey's Plaza)<br> December 4, 2020<br> $3.45<br> The beer pours a hazed dark gold colour with a frothy white head which is short lived. Lacing is generous. Aroma is tropical fruits, cereal grains, yeast, and herbal hops. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation.

The aroma is grassy malts, pine, grapefruity hops, light yeast, and caramel. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The grapefruit, pine, and caramel notes dominate the flavour and the finish is quite bitter. This is my kind of IPA. |

391 | 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. |

The mouthfeel is medium bodied, creamy, and well carbonated. The flavour is burnt sugar, grains, light anise notes, and dark fruit. This Trappist ale needs a bit of work! |

Aroma: 9 | Appearance: 9 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 8 473ml can <br> 10.0% ABV <br> Canned On: August 18, 2020<br> LCBO Outlet #649 (Milton, Ontario, Canada - Sobey's Plaza)<br> October 30, 2020<br> $4.95<br> The beer pours a translucent amber colour with heavy effervescence, and a huge creamy, yet rocky light tan head which lasted a while. The aroma was definitely pumpkin pie in a glass with some bready malts thrown in as well. The mouthfeel was medium to full bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is just as the aroma would indicate….pumpkin pie in a glass. Sadly, they were unable to hide the 10% alcohol, but it’s warming the belly, and it’s cold outside. I really like the first few sips of this! |
