Erable (maple beer) - St. Ambrose

Mood: Maple beer from Montreal! Much appreciated. 

Where to Buy: deppaneur AS (Montreal)

Price: $11.50 - 4 pack of bottles

Beer Type: maple beer

Ingrdients: water, malted barley, crystal malt, toasted wheat, natural maple flavour, hops, Quebec maple syrup 

Country: Montreal, Quebec 

%: 4.5%

ml: 341ml

Appearance: maple syrup! Aka Amber 

Smell: beer with a hint of sugary maple

Taste: maple beer, kinda sweet, a lot like honey brown from whistler, but with a more pleasurable maple. Bitterness to the undertone

Mouthfeel: starts out pinchy, moves to creamy when kept in mouth. 

Finished: bitter. In all areas of my mouth but mostly my tongue. Leaves a nice sweet taste and a breath in of maple. 

Overall:  what a great addition to the st Ambroise crew of beers. Always a good beer that they create. It isn't perfect but I definitely like the flavours that they offer now. Would probably taste great with the pumpkin beer! 

7/10

Lunch Money Lager - Collective arts

Collective arts - lunch money

smell - fresh and slightly citrusy, crisp.

mouth feel - crisp and clean, slight ipa but nothing unbearable. the longer it stays in my mouth the more creamy it gets 

between a clean regular beer and an ipa note. enjoyable probably in the summer and nice and cold.

finish - bitter in my throat and on my tonge. clears off afterwards, becomes almost nothing...

overall not a bad beer. but not good either. hard to taste what it's attempting, very light, which makes sense because it's 4.8%.

7/10 u enjoy the cans too. probably too expensive for what I actually got out of it

Mood: I'm home, I'm bored, let's try something new!

Where to Buy: the beer store (Kingston)

Price: 2.50

Beer Type: blonde ale

Ingrdients: 

Country: Ottawa, Ontario

%: 5.0%

ml: 473ml

Appearance: light and ale like

Smell: like lager in a can... No real difference 

Taste: kinda tinny, like the cheaper beers I used to buy in the can and test for under $2.00. Not impressed but also nothing too good or too bad, just meh. 

Mouthfeel: tiny pokeing daggers again, very frat boy cheap beer tasting. Sitting in my mouth there are bubbles but they are thin and not creamy. When swallowed slightly bitter. 

Finished: bitter weirdness at the back of my throat. Again. Nothing special. Nothing to write home about. 

Overall: I bought it because the can was pretty awesome. Unfortunately the beer wasn't as awesome. Just meh. If it was super cheap I would buy again, or if I found another cool can design I would buy again. Aside from that a no go.

Finished: light, but the more i drink the more the back of my throat is kinda bitter. a distilled water kinda taste.
