It was at the lcbo months ago. Must be old stock that got forgotten in a dark corner of the warehouse.

I picked up a bottle yesterday. Very little peach comes through in the taste. I was hoping for the big sour peach finish similar to dogfish head festina a peche but unfortunately it wasnt there.

Well said, it didn't do much for me - but women request sweet gentle beers all the time.

With all due respect, you need to hang out with a better class of women.... :wink:

yeah I didnt find it very impressive either. Very little peach. And I have never seen a wheat beer pour with such little head before. Completely flat, not even a quarter inch. Very little carbonation at all.

didnt see this posted anywhere yet, but an Oct. 5th Toronto Star article mentions that in February 5 Garrison beers will be at the LCBO as part of the brewery feature program.

Out of curiosity, does anyone know if there will be another feature before that? I was thinking they might have one in Nov/Dec, but who knows if the Super Collider will even be out by then.

There was talk a while ago that the next one would be a Fuller's feature.

It looks like La Trappe Quad is on its way. Or is this an old listing that is waiting for its "Product Discontinued" designation?
