526 | Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA | United States | Imperial IPA | 5.0
Aroma: 10 | Appearance: 10 | Mouthfeel: 10 | Flavor: 10 | Overall: 10 I was so unimpressed with the DFH 120 minute that I hesitated in buying the DFH 60 minute. I was so enamoured with the DFH 60 minute that I had to buy the DFH 90 minute. This is one of my favourite beers. The hoppy aroma and flavour are near perfection! |

530 | Deschutes The Abyss | United States | Imperial Stout | 3.3
Aroma: 9 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 6 I had a hard time getting this, and now that I have it, I feel like I've wasted my money. A decent Imperial Stout, but not a great one. Not a lot of complexity in the aroma or flavour, and certainly nothing that makes it stand out from the crowd. Very black with a creamy brown head. Typical stout aroma with roasted malt, coffee, and vanilla. The flavour is more of the same. No wow factor here. I think Thomassova hit it on the head when he said 'overrated'. At best...average aside from colour! |

531 | Weyerbacher Double Simcoe IPA | United States | Imperial IPA | 3.1
Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 6 If this was just an IPA, it would be a great beer, but it falls short on the 'Imperial' nature. A murky orange-gold pour with a thin creamy light tan head with a citrusy hop aroma, some spices, and some sweet malt. The flavour is a good bitter citrusy tone but not too strong. I could have used more bitterness for the 'Imperial' to be taken seriously |

532 | Russian River Pliny the Younger | United States | Imperial IPA | 3.6
Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 9 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7 The best thing about this beer is the ornamental lamp-like growler. After you finish the beer you can put a candle in it. A golden beer, almost clear, and plenty of head. The aroma is citrusy hops, some malt, but definitely hoppy. The flavour is all hops, and not very well balanced. |

533 | Bell's Hopslam | United States | Imperial IPA | 4.8
Aroma: 9 | Appearance: 10 | Mouthfeel: 9 | Flavor: 10 | Overall: 10 I think this could be my favourite beer if it was available in Canada (or anywhere outside of Michigan). A nicely balanced Imperial IPA that has enough malt backbone to keep me happy, while still having all the hop-forwardness I want from an Imperial IPA. Excellent beer. |

535 | Allagash White | United States | Witbier | 3.0
Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 4 | Overall: 5 This is my first Allagash brew, and I must say that I'm a little disappointed. It pours a hazy golden yellow topped off by a snow white cap. Lots of citrus and wheat in the aroma. The flavour is a bit on the sour side, something completely unexpected from a witbier. |

539 | Natural Light | United States | Light / Lite Lager | 1.5
Aroma: 4 | Appearance: 3 | Mouthfeel: 3 | Flavor: 2 | Overall: 3 I went to many a party when I lived in the US in the 90s where Natty Lite made an appearance. It was never a beer worth drinking, but sometimes the only options one had if you didn't bring your own was Natty Lite, Bud Lite, Miller Lite, or Coors Lite. |

541 | Schlitz Red Bull Malt Liquor | United States | Strong Lager | 1.6
Aroma: 4 | Appearance: 3 | Mouthfeel: 3 | Flavor: 3 | Overall: 3 I have had the Canadian version of this once or twice (Sleeman's used to contract brew Schlitz and Stroh's products) and it was awful both times. An ABV that qualifies as a 'Light' beer for a Belgian, is grossly alcoholic in this concoction |

542 | Natural Ice | United States | Pale Lager | 1.2
Aroma: 4 | Appearance: 2 | Mouthfeel: 2 | Flavor: 2 | Overall: 2 Ah, good ol' Natty Ice, another party favourite from my American days, and another beer that I don't miss at all. If it's available at all in Canada...........pass it by. It's beers like this that gave rise to the 'Canadian Beer is better' myth of the 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s. |

547 | Coors Light | United States | Light / Lite Lager | 2.2
Aroma: 5 | Appearance: 4 | Mouthfeel: 5 | Flavor: 4 | Overall: 4 This nis for the Canadian brewed version. It was tried immediately after trying their new Iced Tea beer, and frankly, it made this quite drinkable. Compared to craft beer, it's pretty bad, but compared to the Iced Tea version, it's a refreshing drinkable beer. It's Canada's best selling beer I hear. |

548 | Coors | United States | Pale Lager | 2.4
Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 5 | Mouthfeel: 5 | Flavor: 4 | Overall: 4 Had during a Coors threesome along with Coors Light and Coors Light Iced Tea version. This was the beeriest of the three, the darkest of the three (not saying mych considering you could read a magazine through the other two) and the most full bodied. Again, compared to the Coors Light Iced Tea, this was heaven in a bottle, compared to a Creemore Springs Lager....it's more like 2 minutes of chugging hell. |

549 | Southern Tier Imperial Mokah | United States | Imperial Stout | 3.2
Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 6 Part of the 2012 LCBO Fall Release. ABV on bottle is 11.2%. A nice black pour with a small tan cap. Lots of coffee and chocolate in the aroma. Alcohol is present in the taste along with a hint of coffee and chocolate. The label says this is a mix of the Java and Choklat. Having never tried either of those, this doesn't make me want to try them at all. |
