I remember finding a cache of 2013 Amsterdam Tempest at the Eglinton/Laird LCBO this past summer and they also had Mokah. I think Summerhill had some at the time as well.

There is a lot of old stock in King and Spadina right now for some reason. I even saw some expired Renaissance Pale Ales from the feature release from a bit ago.

Not a bad price for a 750. Unless they just found some 2 year old stuff in a warehouse somewhere.

Please can the tag line be:
"It's alright."
"Passable!"
"Meh... 2.5"

That'd be pretty honest.

Or, oh, "People will buy this, it's pretty safe."

which is pretty average, and if you mix the two and adjust for the sites' average scores, it is pretty average let's be honest

Yeah I'm with Jerc, these many experienced raters :roll: are pretty convincing...

Although I'm generally appreciative of a so-called Oktoberfest or Märzen. It's one of the best lager styles going, with more expression and depth than you might expect. Best if brewers & their buddies let other people promote their brew.

Me too. While I think the name is awful, if the beer ends up in an LCBO near me, I'm going to give it a try. Though those "flavorful for a lager" comments are pretty funny. Haha
