Old style lager - Muddy York

Mood: this week just started and I'm already tired AF. 

Where to buy: Muddy York Brewery

Price: 3.10

Beer type: American lager 

Ingredients: I'm not sure... it just said old

Lager ???!

Region: East York, Ontario

%: 5

ml: 355ml

Appearance: Golden brown

Smell: like the beers I used to steal in the basement. I wanna say they were blue? Bud? Heineken? 

Taste: ok now I understand what old style lager is. It's basically the crap I remember stealing from my dads stash when I was younger. Basic Blue or Bud beer. 

Mouthfeel: crisp and clean. With a hint of 1980z 

Finish: bitter in my throat, I sense this is the theme from this brewery... 

Overall: what a waste of 3.00. It's like the bargain beers I used to drink when I first started this blog and wanted to find something under... $2.00? 

4/10 old school cheap beer! won't be going to this brewery to pick this up.

Coconut porter - Muddy York

 

Mood: this week just started and I'm already tired AF. 

Where to buy: Muddy York Brewery

Price: 3.31

Beer type: Porter

Ingredients: water, malted barley, wheat, toasted coconut, hops, yeast. 

Region: East York, Ontario

%: 4.7

ml: 355ml

Appearance: dark brown

Smell: sweet porter. Like sugared coconut 

Taste: first sip is sweet coconut porter, but it goes away very quickly to just be a porter

Mouthfeel: turns into a smooth cream in my mouth, quite lovely! 

Finish: bitter in my throat almost a dirty water aftertaste. 

Overall: Not bad, but not good. Out of the porters ive had in my day this is probabaly one of the better ones. But over time I'm noticing more and more that porters just aren't my thing. Not worth the far drive for this one. 

6/10 - it's ok, won't be going to this brewery specifically to pick it up though. 

Wheat Beer - Side Launch Brewing Company - $2.70

Mood: getting ready for work and trying what's left in the can from last night

Where to Buy: LCBO Square One

Price: $2.70

Beer Type: wheat (Bavarian style)

Ingredients: water, malted wheat and barley, hops, yeast 

Country: Canada (collingwood on)

%: 5.3%

ml: 473ml

Appearance: Light yellow and cloudy 

Smell: fruity, like hogarden. 

Taste: very light! Hardly even has a flavour

Mouthfeel: turns creamy in mouth, bubbles disappear, a bit harsh on the tongue (little burning) but no flavour 

Finished: light, very light, tastes like hogarden like I said, 

Overall: a very "light" flavoured beer, no aftertaste really, thought it looked like water when I was drinking it, good choice for a Bavarian style beer that is brewed locally. Very light! Very clean! Very good! 

8/10
