Can at Session Muskoka. Cloudy dark orange under a small white head that fades quickly and leaves some patchy lace. Nose has lots of pine, orange peel and tropical fruit. Light sweet and tart fruit moves to a moderately bitter middle and finish. Medium sticky mouth with average carbonation and a lingering bitter finish. 8/4-/7/3+/15

Pours a clean light golden colour with a thin soapy head disappearing fast enough but leaving a little lace. Pretty big aromas of grainy cereal malts. The taste has this malt, but some decent hops are well-blended with it. Nice mild bitterness and dryness. A pretty good light beer. Thanks Chris for all the great years !!

Tasting at Matt’s, can
Dark brown color. Roasted malt and caramel aroma, hint of good coffee. There is some residual sugar, but the roastiness wins, quite aggressive, a bit too much in the final. Not bad.

473ml bottle at Matt’s. Pours a very dar brown with a beige head. Aroma is piney hops, burnt malt, slightly earthy. Taste is strong piney bitterness, burnt malt, with smokey notes. Quite aggresive, but not bad.

Can. Dark brown colour, though not a lot of head. The aroma has a fudgey dark malt character, with some earthy hop and a minty, anisey note. Has a spicy, anisey note, with sweet brown sugar and fudge. That spicy character is a bit over the top, but there’s just enough dark sugars to make it work.

500mL can, pours black with a medium tan head. Aroma brings out lots of roasted malt, piney hops, and a little dark fruitiness. Flavour is robust, with a nice balance between roasted malt and piney hops, a touch of fruitiness, and a nice bitter, roasted astringency on the finish. Very good.

Can from the LCBO. Clear pale gold with a one finger fluffy white head that leave some lace. Nose has some light apple and melon with some grass and floral notes. Flavour is lightly sweet with a touch of tart apple and some light+ bitterness but with some distracting metallic notes. Mouth is medium slick with average carbonation and a crisp finish. 7/3/5/3/12

Pours a clean light amber colour with a warm cap creating some foamy lace. Nice fresh hop aromas with tropical fruit notes and some grapefruit. The taste is where the Maibock shows up with some sweetness, fruitiness and some darker cereal malts. Flavours seem a little unbalanced sometimes, but others, pretty good with the grassy hops. Pretty refreshing overall.

A hazed golden ipa with a thin lacing white head. In aroma, sweet fruity caramel malt with loads of clover, curacao, resinous and piney hops, very nice. In mouth, a nice Saison like fruity caramel malt with loads of fruity banana esters, cloves, curacao, floral hops, very well done. On tap at Ogilvie location.
