ST-AMBROISE SUMMER TASTE PACK
LCBO 286476 | 6x341 mL bottle

Price: $ 12.95


It will have 2x Apricot, 2x Pale Ale, 2x Raspberry (seasonal). We requested to have the Raspberry as a 4pack like we do with the Pumpkin but we were denied. However, the Mixpack was accepted. Though it is not adventurous for the beer connoiseurs, it does mark the return of the Raspberry back to the LCBO.

it is on the system now - however, expect it to be released to the stores by mid-June.

The Raspberry is already available on draught at a few places as well.

Cheers,
Barry

Unfortunate. From the 1/2 pint I tried last year, I really liked it. I'd have bought a few of the 4's.

Me too - I remember liking it myself.

I know I've said this before, but I quite like the India Pale Ale - to me it's a pretty great English style IPA - I'd buy that as well - too bad we can't get that at the 'BO (yet?)

BO denied it for bottle format. No real reason. We will have it on draught again this summer.
