Smells like raspberry mostly. Pours dark brown with quickly disappearing head. Pretty high carbonation. Taste has coffee with the raspberry, some roast malts. It’s alright, a little better than I expected. Bottle from lcbo.

Initial smell is pungent with yeast. A little wheaty bitter that’s kind of interesting. A tiny bit of citrus. Pours cloudy light brown, beige. Smells more complex than it tastes. Some mild grapefruit astringency. Pretty liquidy taste. Average on the whole. Bottle

Picked-up a 6-pack of this one at the LCBO. Pours a clean amber colour with big frothy off-white head that has good retention and great lacing. Aromas of burnt toffee and grapefruits. Kind of on the light side of things for the palate. Not as bitter from the glass, than the bottle. Caramel malts with the hop showing in the finish with a medium dry bitterness. A good IPA that has balls, but does not overpower and is still easy to drink a few.

A: Slight banana accents with clove and a bit of vanilla; fairly balanced. App:White / yellow color, a bit cloudy. Head is average but long lasting. Banana flavors are dominant with a slight acidity. Clove and cinnamon are also showing. Finish is hoppy but a bit acid. A fairly good hefeweizen but flavors dont stick out much. Little annoying acidity on finish. Acceptable product but Belle Gueule Hefeweizen was far ahead.

Big bomber from the LCBO. Pours a cloudy golden-amber colour with an average head and decent lacing. Mild hefe aroma at first (with bananas and cloves), but then just becomes grainy (wheaty). The taste is pretty mild as well, but at least the hefe notes are there. A little spices in the finish. Creamy and watery mouthfeel. Refreshing, but lacking some character overall.

Draft - Sweet hoppy aroma, clear orange with a medium persistent head. Grapefruit and malt with just enough bitterness. A bit of an alcohol yeasty finish but in all a well balanced session beer. A great value IPA from Canada.

Purchased at the LCBO in a single bomber, written "Limited Edition" on the front. Pours a very dark brown with ruby highlights. Beige frothy head that stays a long time and creates soapy lacing. Roasted malt aromas with notes of nuts, chocolate and caramel. Smooth creamy mouthfeel with no burning at all. Nice bitterness with the hop finally showing in the taste. Well-balanced with the roasted malt, molasses and nutty finish. So, pretty good brew where is feels like a stout at first, but when tasted, that is where the hop shows up to make this one a Black IPA.

Purchased a 6-pack of this at the LCBO in the Glebe. After having the Woodchuck Cider last night, decided to try this one. Pours a light yellow colour with bigger bubble carbonation. Nice aromas of pears over the apple juice. Wet mouthfeel that is not really dry (semi-dry, as opposed to their title). The flavours are quite mild, with a little sourness and not much apples to talk about. Suggested served on ice, but not sure this will do much to the taste. OK drinkability, but mostly boring.

(650mL bottle from the LCBO). Poured cold, a very hazy medium brownish orange with a very thin white head that left no lacing, very un-hefe and maybe due to lack of bottle conditioning. Aroma was fairly standard hefe, banana, sweet fruity esters, clove, bready wheat, not very strong. Taste started ok if unremarkable, banana, caramel, powdery yeast, but from the mid point on it devolved into eating a bowl of dry raw wheat, maybe with a bit of hops, yeast and flour. Not pleasant or refreshing, I barely got through it. A disappointing hefeweizen.
