Seems appropriate to try this in a margarita glass. A little lime scent under the tab. Pours a bit of lemony yellow, low fizz. Tart lime taste right up front, maybe some extra citrus too. Trying to catch any added salt, perhaps I'm picking it up because it's what I'm looking for. I'm been hitting a lot of sours lately, maybe to space out from the Impy stouts and pumpkin beers the season is bringing.

Draft at Uno Pizzeria and Grill in Hamilton. Jet black pour. No head. Big boozy aroma hints at chocolate and oak. Bittersweet and nutty. Added notes of coffee and vanilla. Sticky mouthfeel. Chewy, chocolatey finish.

Clear orangish pale from a 3 buck pounder can. Nose is alarmingly bollocks, humongous cinnamon and other spices. Oh my, first taste is big bitchy boozy; that's the first whopping impression I get. Then, there is an overbearing onslaught of obsessive over the top spices, you'll never uncover the 'beer' in this beaner bomb. Styled here as a spiced, but I'd have to say this bullshit is wandering into pastry territory. Such a one-sided malevolent mess. Flat fat-ass mouthcoating texture. Cannot handle, nothing in this childish crap-shoot says beer. Oh my, now its starting to taste like cloying children's cough medicine. Finishes like a large spicy space-sick spanghewing mannoh mannoh shittance. There, you have it.

Pour is an amber almost ready with a large white head. Aroma is sweet bready malt and I do get a little oak in there. Flavor is more of the oak in a big way with lots of vanilla. The oak is so up front it kind of takes away from the rest of the beer. Still this was a pretty good oak aged lager.

Pour is a hazy IPA lookalike with a large white head. Aroma is all lemondrop hops. Flavor is more lemon hops with accompanying bitterness. As a hazy IPA this was fine but I did not get anything "Belgain" from this beer. Still tasty and worth a try just don't expect Houblon Chouffe.

Clear, Slight Cold Haze Cloudiness, Pale Yellow Color, Huge White Bubbly Foam Head, Creamy Top, Good Retention, Thin Creamy Rings and Patches of Lacing. Slightly Sweet, Light Fruity Aroma. Grassy, Lemongrass, Slightly Sour, Light Hop Bitter. Grassy, Lemongrass, Hoppy Bitter Aftertaste... Light and Easy Going. Kinda Like a Mix Between a Pale Ale and A Farmhouse /Table Beer... Good. Enjoyed It. Recommended...
Sweet, heavy and slightly roasty with some milky lactic creamy notes, spices, cinnamon, vanilla, cocoa and earthiness. A bit unbalanced and heavy, too much lactic notes.
