I expect that they'll all probably come in at or around the same price.

Thanks for the good news, Greg! The first and last beers have the same item numbers (corresponds to Voyager IPA). Can't seem to find Perfection in the online inventory...anyone else have better luck?

Personally I think the Discovery APA is pretty fantastic! Fruity, juicy hops without any bitterness (Mill St would approve) with a very light body (only 4.5%); I could drink this all night.

Haven't had anything else from this release, and others the LCBO has brought in from this brewery haven't been exceptional, but this is.
I used to sell beer. Now I don't.

MPA is really nice too! However, the IPA (Voyager) wasn't up to par, IMO.

I saw a tagged shelf-space for it at the Dupont store. Perfection will come with patience.
