The only new beer in the Waterloo Seasonal Collection 6-pack can mixer. Pours a dark brown with some good red highlights. Big foamy light brown head, good retention and lots of thick soapy lace. The taste is a little more powerful compared to the nose, with roasted malts, hints of cocoa and light notes of molasses and coffee in the finish. A nice strong porter that goes down easily and above the mass produced market, by a notch.

Rated a while back. Pours a yellow colour with very high carbonation. The head is white, creamy-fizz, has medium retention and leaves a bit of lace. Aromas of alcohol and bad grass. The taste is kind of weird with some corn in the finish. Some kind of cheap malt or hop, tasting like cabbage. Tastes much better when drunk from the bottle. That is why this one is made.

Part of their Summer Sampler Box Set at the LCBO with 2 cans of these, their Pilsner and their IPA. Pours a very slightly cloudy yellow colour with a decent creamy white head, good retention and a little lacing. Aromas of a true Belgian Blonde, just milder as the alcohol content is lower than most. Mostly with the Belgian Ale yeast and some nice spicy light hops. The taste is even milder, like a watered down version. Like a good light version of a Belgian Ale made for easy drinking. Not a big surprise from this brewer, but an enjoyable one overall.

Sample at Primo’s Deli. The beer is a dark brown color with a medium tan head that recedes gradually. Strings of lacing. Aroma of roast malt and slight hops. Light body with flavors of grainy malt, chocolate and mild hops. The finish is slightly roasty with a short chocolate malt aftertaste. Just average overall.

Canette 473ml. De couleur dorée et claire. Nez de légumes bouillis sucrés, de grains de malt pâle sucrés, léger de maïs sucré avec des notes chimiques sucrées et quelques traces herbeuses (gazon mouillé). Mince en bouche avec un pétillement moyen ainsi qu’une texture aqueuse et aux faibles notes huileuses. Goût de légumes bouillis sucrés avec un léger goût de grains de malt pâle sucrés lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute rapidement un moyen goût de maïs sucré puis en finale l’on retrouve un léger goût métallique et chimique avec des traces herbeuses (gazon mouillé). Post-goût court, composé d’un léger goût chimique sucré.

Part of the Waterloo 2013 Spring pack at the LCBO. Pours a yellow straw colour with a foamy white head that gives out dirty lacing. Mild cereal grain malt nose with just a tad of Saaz hop. The hop appears a little more in the taste, adding a spicy bite to it at the start and finishing on the malt, lingering a bit. Nice crisp, medium-bodied brew that is pretty refreshing. Quite a nice Canadian pilsner, that does not have the rusty hop that most European Pils have.

Part of the Waterloo 2013 Spring pack at the LCBO. Pours a golden colour with a big white creamy head, that stays quite long and hands out dirty lace. Big grainy cereal malt aromas. Eventually, the rusty hop comes out with notes of fruits. The taste is pretty mild though. Watery malt with just a touch of hop. Not much bitterness though. Not much in the flavour department. Thankfully, the head is still there in the end, and the smell is pretty good overall. Goes down smoothly.

Wow... this is a cider that seems like real apple juice. Not too sweet like most, not too dry. Can’t even feel the alcohol. Just like fresh pressed red apples. Taste is a little lighter than the nice scent. No apple candy adjunct here. Just a nice natural cider.
