Strange, I was told it was still in bond in the warehouse.

I expect a full review.

Just picked up a sixer at Kingston and Morningside store in Scaroborough and the only indication on the bottle itself is a "best before" March 2012 notching. As for the packaging, the bottom of the inside of the carton itself is stamped 02/04/11 which, going by how Americans typically stamp things, means February 4th, 2011. Either way, it doesn't look like the beer is any older than 2 months... it certainly doesn't taste like it, that's for sure!

Tried the Pils for the first time last night - Holy Citrus! Seems like it'd be a great deck/patio beer if this "End of Days" type weather is ever replaced by some sun! 63 Tornados in NC? WTF!?

FWIW, I noticed SA summer ale in the cooler the other day.

Garbage beer. Tastes the way lemon pledge smells, if that makes sense.

Picked up the second last case of Noble Pils at the store in Timmins. Sad to see is discontinued already.

It was seasonal, I believe they are rotating the Winter, Noble Pils, Summer, and Oktoberfest throughout the year
