Hazy brownish pour, with no head.
Well......this looks awful. Aroma of VERY subtle sweet fake cherry, and not much else. Flavor had a touch of cherry, but it wasnt very sour, and honestly there was nothing more to speak of, it was quite watery, and boring.

500ml can from the LCBO
sweet malt aroma, mixed with grass, and dry green tea. Flavor is extremely grassy. with more bitter green tea, and some sweet bready malt. Interesting flavors, not great, but decent.

Medium brown pour, light beige head. Aromas of burnt sugar and lightly roasted malts. Flavor is more of the same with a hint of wet paper, and nuts. Finish is very sweet, and astringent. This is a mess.

on tap at Volo. A decent hefe aroma some slight banana, and clove, but the aroma is a tad plain. The flavour though, is where the banana notes really come through, with some nice bubblegum, and clove aromas, and some great esters. A quality hefe.

aroma is bready, and slightly cardboard. Flavoru is sweet malt, and faint hops. I think it’s past it’s prime, but still drinkable. a decent beer.

on tap at volo. Nice to see a little brewery like this tring new things, but to me this is a miss. body was quite thin and wattery to what i would expect in a bock, and the malt wasnt as much there as i wuld have liked, but a good effot though.

on tap at the toronto beerfest. Kinda harsh in the fact that the green apple tastes very very artificial. not very nice at all.

473mL can, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma has plenty of dry toasted malt, a touch of coffee, and a hint of cocoa. Flavour has a nice roasted malt profile, with deep roast, some espresso, and a touch of cocoa. Finishes quite roasted and even has some hoppy bitterness. Good balance, nicely structured old school impie.

Poured from 473mL can (pkg 03 Oct 2023). Very dark brown with huge beige head. Roast malt, feint molasses, maple is so subtle to be almost undetectable. Just an okay porter.
