Bottle LCBO in Toronto. Really nice. Roasted malt a little doughy, mildly sweet, some grapes. Nice bright lingering taste.

50cl can on 6th March 2026. Last beer in my 'drinking around the world' mini session with myself and no one else. Pours red with a light pinkish head. Smells of red fruits and tastes also of red fruits, can't think where they came up with the beers name! It's a fruity tramp juice and you can feel the hangover arriving as you sup it.

Ambar anaranjada, de espuma de tamaño normal y retención corta. Aroma intenso, donde predomina el caramelo, que se impone a notas especiadas, clavo sobre todo. En boca es punzante de gas, oleosa, con cuerpo. Tono general tirando a dulce, bastante caramelo, pero ahora más claramente hay características especiadas, clavo, anis. Amargor moderado, final más seco. Algo cansina.

330ml bottle [as "Gordon Triple Oak"]. Opalescent, yellow-ish golden colour with average, fluffy, moderately lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Yeasty fruity and slightly yeasty spicy, mildly woody aroma, wheaty malty background, hints of banana, oak, some clove, a touch of vanilla. Taste is sweet-ish, wheaty malty, yeasty fruity and minimally woody and spicy, notes of banana, a touch of oak and vanilla, clove.
Creamy-watery texture, smooth and soft palate, medium, dense, prickly carbonation.
Quite sweet, monotonous, kind of hybrid between Tripel and "Kristallweizenbock" - OK.
