Can from the LCBO. Hazy medium gold under a small very active white head that is gone almost immediately leaving no lace. Nose is prominent almond liqueur with some light citrus peel and pineapple. Medium- maraschino cherry sweetness with a medium tartness that fades gradually through the finish and a light spice. Mouth is medium- with soft carbonation. Interesting but not at all what I was expecting. 7-/2+/7-/3/12

Mildly hazy, peach-caramel colour with a big frothy off-white cap, decent retention and a few foamy spots left on the glass. Cherry juice aromas with some yeast notes and grassiness, alcoholic, bitterness coming out. Very mild cherry taste with some rusty water that lingers. Wet mouthfeel, kind of thin. Not getting much of the Wit part. Feels like a very light ABV fruit session beer. No more.

Can sample at a tasting at Max's place. Thanks Max. Hazy golden. Lactic, fruity, hibiscus, tart and juicy, citric. Very good and refreshing.

Fizzy head that disappear right away, with no lacing. Slightly hazy, light-golden colour. Big maraschino cherries aroma with some light spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, etc). Hints of apples and pineapples for the base. The taste shows some sourness, which does last longer then expected. The taste is very low. Flavours of the pineapples, cherries and spices. This is a very interesting milder sour that makes a special fruity beer.

Now called Mule Lager at 4.4% ABV. Very slight haze (getting hazy at last pour) light golden-yellow colour with a fizzy, bubbly white cap, disappearing quick enough, leaving a tad foam. Lots of freshly squeezed lime in the nose at first with some spicy heat appearing. The taste is rather mild, as this is a light lager - but the heat, spicy ginger is what you feel the most. The lime does come out in the background, but with a short finish, the heat is what continues. I like spiced beer, so this is not bad for a light one. Just one though.

Now under Passionate Sour at 4.3% ABV. Pours a hazy golden-yellow colour with a fizzy, slightly off-white cap that disappears averagely, leaving some small foam spots on the glass. Coconut does comes out in the nose at first, then showing some slight sourness. The taste shows again the coconut up-front nicely with the sour notes in the background. Hints of the passionfruit, but not much. A nice sour ale with coconut action.

This sour poured a cloudy, dark pink colour with a pinkish white fizzy head. Minimal lacing. Scents include sour rhubarb, a little floral hops and citrus. First swig was gladly not the punch in the face that was expected. Sweet Tart flavour with a little floral note. Finish is mildly sour.
