Bitter and Twisted isn't a seasonal, it was added to the general list as a new "Super Premium" beer.icemachine wrote:They delist seasonals pretty rapidly it seems, although they are willing to bring more in from the warehouse if demand (and supply) is there.carguy wrote:They even delisted Bitter and Twisted, which boggles the mind, as it was selling faster than they could order it. I guess I better save up on gas money, as I'll be once again cruising southern Ontario LCBO's in search for new beers.

Hasn't hit the shelves yet. No worries, you should be able to find some.

This beer should hitting the shelves in the next day or so. It is coming in at the terrific bargain price of $2.10 per bottle.
For those not familiar with it here are the tasting notes from the LCBO site:
Tasting Note
This beer features a fantastic aroma of fresh raspberries. The taste is tart & crisp, with a raspberry flavour dominating, but also with a nice dry, slightly hopped finish. A very light & refreshing summer ale that can be paired with a variety of dishes.
Enjoy!

Agreed - bought 6 tonight and found it to taste very much like a cherry/raspberry fluoride/cough syrup. Hopefully I can find some friends to take the other 5...kinguy wrote:I generally love ST beers, with Jah-Va being my personal favourite, but I was not impressed with either the ST Raspberry Wheat or the Raspberry Porter I picked up in Buffalo last year. I thought the raspberry was very artificial tasting.

The ST Raspberry Wheat was easily my biggest disapointment of the summer so far. The raspberry was indeed slightly medicinal and I found a very unpleasant cardboardy cereal grain character underneath. The cardboard I tasted wasn't oxidative, but equally unpleasant.velovampire wrote:Agreed - bought 6 tonight and found it to taste very much like a cherry/raspberry fluoride/cough syrup.

I'm way more excited about the regional offerings that wll first arrive this summer from Creemore, Taps, Flying Monkey and Denisons than anything from the actual summer list.
