Howe Sound PumpkinEater is a very, very good one - half way to Imperial like ST PumKing, but not as sharp and strong. A fusion of the best pumpkin ales so far IMO. I probably just need to try it again - last night I just found it quite boozy. I'll still got half a bottle, so give it another go... I...

I don't know if I lucked out on the lottery but my four-pack was far from abysmal. Over-expensive and not fresh for sure but far from a drain-pour. Same. Drank my bottles at just above room temp and found them to be hoppier and oilier than anything else in this market besides Red Racer and fresh Ma...

I think because it's a brewery features, it only sells from those select 40 or so stores. Having tried them all now, I can't say I'm disappointed. There's nothing like pouring an Imperial IPA, and finding out its essentially a Barley Wine. Not cool Shipyard. I agree - the IIPA was like the barley w...

Yeah I picked two four packs yesterday. Its seen better days. As reported, 05/21/12, full of particles. Its a good IPA, but not worth the money in its current condition. I have to assume it was pretty spectacular when it was fresh, but it seems much of the hop flavour is gone. Drink Red Racer instead.

Do we have a product number? A search for "Green Flash" on the LCBO site returns nothing.

Yeah, I picked some up for Viggo and myself. This stuff is pure win. If you guys like this and want to see more of it, make some noise. Get on the beer rating sites and make sure it gets some respect.

I'm on my way back to get more. (Luckily, I live around the corner from Black Oak). :D

Yeah, it's available in bottles now. Excellent stuff. Get it while it's fresh, because by my calculations, there's only a little over 3000 bottles total.
