Unique

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.

7.5/10

Another flavor in there Wizard series. Like the rest very tasty. Soft hay malts, mild sour that works well with the lemon zest and lime flavors. Really good balance, not sweet but a nice zesty sour on the finish.

Draft t the brewery. Nose is resin, dank. Taste is mild bready hay, slightly sweet, resinous hops, dank grassy organics, vague idea of some hop burn. Good but feels a touch underpowered.

Draft on the patio of Bandit. Light bright malt, lemonaid, tea. Mild tang of sour. Really tasty and refreshing. Good balance. More lemon than grapefruit but good.

8.5/10

Can from the lcbo. Whoooo! Man had a sip of this and realized it slipped my notice it was 11%! But what a 11 percent. Sip is of sweet, almost syrupy hay malt, bright orange flavours, resinous hops that tranforms into a decent bitterness that helps balance that syrup. And of course booze. Hard to hide that much %. It's good, it's got a real Tripel Karmeliet moves to Canada and becomes an alcoholic hopz head vibe. I like it, but it's one and done for the night at that %.

Can from the LCBO. Taste is mildly sweet syrupy malt with resin malt and notable bittering malt to offset the fairly syrupy finish. Decent.
