Drank the (new the the lcbo) Kichesippi Beer Heller Highwater last night, it was actually pretty decent and refreshing. I can see myself buying a few of these this summer.

Agree with all, the Moralite is very good right now. Almost passed on picking it up due to the Jan 28th bottling date. There is a little hop fade, but there's no way I would have guessed it would be drinking this well 8 wks post bottling. A winner, despite The LCBO's snail pace.

I have such an issue with this.

If a beer can't even maintain its hoppiness for two measly months then how well was that beer actually made?

It's like the bottles of Karma Citra I have. Hop flavour and aroma completely gone in two weeks. Ridiculous.

That being said I am digging the Moralite as well.

The pint of Karma Citra at Thirsty & Miserable WAS the best one I've had, possibly a top 5 IPA experience - such a delicacy of hop flavors and aromas. The bottle was only sorta close and I'd re-order on draught any day.

I never had a problem with Corné du Diable in bottles from DDC either, so even if we're comparing apples to oranges to fish I'm not surprised Moralité arriving here is in great shape. Perhaps they bottle it extra young?

I havn't had this in a long time(probably about 2 years)...not sure why. It tastes different to me, not necessarily in a good or bad way, just different. Maybe it's me, I dont know. The smell is different for sure, the one thing I remember about it before was, as soon as cracking open the can, it really smelled like pot, now, not so much. It's also almost crystal clear now, I don't remember that being the case before either.

Still a really good drink and very enjoyable, just different.

Trillium Fort Point IPA
Trillium A Street IPA
Trillium Congress Street IPA

Spent last week drinking a bunch of Trillium in a hotel room in Boston myself. Brought a ton of it back to Ontario too. Really great stuff. Did you manage to score any Upper Case or the Day and Night coffee variants? Definitely the most impressive "new to me" brewery I've tried this year.

A 2013 Rochefort 10, I recall trekking out for the half case at 401 and Weston when it was stupid freezing cold and the icy road had no grip at all, only unforgiving bumpy and slippery. I wish they would make R10 less stupid to get hold of, but you know what they say about fixing the stupid. Dee-lish!

No Upper Case, but got both variants of Day and Night.

Delicious beers, but a tad hyped up. Not in the same conversation as Hill Farmstead (who is, really?) for those IPAs, but still great.

I will admit that those beers were really f'in ugly though. Almost "green" and pulpy with all of the hops they must've jammed in there. Still damn aromatic and tasty.

DDC bottle conditions their beers, which is what I think is making the difference here. The LCBO bottles of Karma Citra and Robohop poured perfectly clear, makes me wonder if they filtered them.

I've had it on draught a number of times lately, Side Launch when it's bang on has a wonderful satisfying 'zing' to it that's hard to describe, yet the last few times it was just kind of plain and sweet. Just when you thought they had solved the magic mystery...
