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.

NZ Pilsner from Trestle Brewing Company (Parry Sound, Canada 🇨🇦)

7.1/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 6.5

Pours a clear golden, sheet of white head that drifts to a ring, decent carbonation. Nose is resinous with some tropical fruits. Taste is fairly hop heavy, some tropical fruits, but primarily bittering hops, strong enough to be slightly sharp, that dominate and linger. Over a little dirty socks funkiness, and a mildly sweet base that pretty buried. Can from the brewery.

Wonder Crush from Beau's Brewing Co. (Vankleek Hill, Canada 🇨🇦)

6.5/10

Can from LCBO. This comes off a bit strange. Looks par for the type, sure, but the taste...its mild orange, backed by heavier citrus pith, with a even bitter on the finish. This over a general bready malt. It feels like there is a hole in the taste profile of this beer, like there is some hoppiness missing up front. It's not bad, but ... lacking?

7/10

Can from the brewery from my kids for Father's Day. ;) Pours a very light and clear blonde with not alot of carbonation or head. Nose is hay malt, picking up a bit of that lime. Taste is passable hay malts, with some bitterness under a fairly prominent lime that lends toward a little limeaid. Decent balance. Not all that dense, as you would expect from a session pushing 3%. Tasty but not inspiring.

7.5/10

A light, yet crisp berr, with heavy hay malts with light bitterness one the finish. A decent representation of a mexican cervesa and worth a try. Can from a friend.

Raspberry Sour from Trestle Brewing Company (Parry Sound, Canada 🇨🇦)

1 year ago

4.6/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 5 Flavor 3.5 Texture 5 Overall 4

Pours a nice, slightly cloudy pink, with barely there white head that's down to a ring quickly. Nose is pretty flat, a touch or raspberry. Taste is just disappointing. Really quite thin, mild raspberry, over thin hay malt, mayyyybe a touch of sourness in the finish. Honestly the saddest beer I've had from this brewery. Can brewery.
