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.

Helsdon (1068) ticked Superlite Lo-Abv Lager from Great Lakes Brewery (Canada) 6 months ago

Light blonde, with a little haze. Taste is dry hay malt, apricots, a little esters, and a mild bitterness on the finish. Decent density and decently full for a 3.2. Good for a very light. Can from the brewery.

Helsdon (1068) ticked Monty Mild from Great Lakes Brewery (Canada) 6 months ago

Can from the brewery. No idea what this one looks like, it stayed in the can, then jumped right into my mouth. The taste is a nice roasted malt, with nuts, a little bread. A mild bitterness on the finish. A little light, but it is an 3.7. I enjoyed it.

Helsdon (1068) ticked Dos Llaves Limón from Great Lakes Brewery (Canada) 6 months ago

I didn't enjoy this as much as the "limon"-less version. Mild bready malt, with some lime, which seems to somewhat undercut the density of the malt. The lime itself is a little underdone.

Decent, mildly sweet bready malts, with some good density. Not fancy, but good.

Helsdon (1068) reviewed Creamsicle Sour from Lost Craft 6 months ago

Appearance - 7 | Aroma - 6.5 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 7 | Overall - 8

Can feom the LCBO. Pours a clear blonde, little white head that dissipates. Taste is pretty clear cut it's namesake. Solid juicy tangerine, mild biting sour, mild milky cream notes. It's a soda-pop, easy-drinker, kettle that's decently done. If that's what your looking for this isn't a bad.
