My Stats (Click one to view detailed breakdowns)
Deeply underachieving beer snob. I'll occasionally have a drink, and when I do I want it to be a good one. Oh, and if I give a detailed rating on a beer, rather than a quick tick, you can ignore the specifics. I don't need to judge appearance, or whatever. I just don't want to leave a rating rounded to the nearest .5, like the quick tick limits you to.

Passable German wheat. The esters weren't bad, not quite the banana and other notes I was expecting, little plasticy. But decent enough.

Can lcbo. Another in the PL series. Delicous. Lots of strawberry, juicy and bright. Not overly sweet and finishes on a tart sour that helps balance. Sure it's a fruit beer, but good.

Can from the LCBO. Surprised the last rated 9 years ago. This was delicious. Mildly sweet bready malt with soft esters, vague marshmallow vanilla and the grain of paradise flavour that for the life of me I can't seem to come up with a comparable for, custard? nope, unsweetened caramel? Nope. Delicious though.

Sweet bready malt, with light esters of a little banana, some vague citrus and a slight bitterness on the finish. Can brought back from Montreal by the Mrs.

Just a schwack of resin, pine and some bitterness, with some hop burn over a mildly sweet malt base. Meh. Can lcbo.

Can LCBO. Taste of mildly sweet bready malt with resin, and bittering hops, with mild tangerine. Lingers to a dusty bitterness. 'Tis fine.
