330ml bottle <br> 6.5% ABV <br> Best Before: March 26, 2021 <br> LCBO Outlet #010 (Toronto, Ontario, Canada - Summerhill)<br> October 17, 2020<br> The beer pours a translucent medium gold colour with a generous white head which sticks around a couple of minutes before leaving some nice lacing in the glass. The aroma is light hints of alcohol, cereal grains, and noble hops. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied, creamy, and has average carbonation. The flavour is alcohol, sweet grains, and an oily bitterness. If somebody handed me this in a glass and didn’t tell me what it was, I would think it is more of a malt liquor, or high ABV North American style lager.

The aroma is light apples, yeast, and grains. The mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is light apples, and a hint of alcohol. Quite enjoyable and not bone dry&#33;

There is no head, but effervescence is lively. The aroma is light apple and Golden Horseshoe white wine &#40;think Spumante Bambino&#41;. The mouthfeel is very light and heavily carbonated, again, more akin to a white wine than a cider. The flavour is light apple with hints of alcohol. It’s actually quite nice. I was a bit worried after trying their peach cider &#40;which was more alcoholic soda pop than cider&#41;, but this is a good cider in my opinion.

The flavour is citrus forward, grassy, with a bitter hop finish. A decade ago this was often listed in Top 10 lists for Canada’s best IPAs, and I loved it, but I can’t believe what I had today is the same IPA served in 2010.

The mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is tart fruit, so tart it takes the tongue a few seconds to recover. Once the tongue recovers one discovers a white wine flavour with the yeast prevalent. Interesting beer&#33;

The aroma is light wheat, light spices, baby powder &#40;yes, I smell baby powder&#41;, and earthy hops. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation.
