They delist seasonals pretty rapidly it seems, although they are willing to bring more in from the warehouse if demand (and supply) is there.
Bitter and Twisted isn't a seasonal, it was added to the general list as a new "Super Premium" beer.

I picked up a few bottles of the Het Anker Margriet at Queen's Quay today. They also had the Deuchars.
ST Raspberry Wheat

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!

(Oh you actually posted that in the 'subject' line but I rarely notice that line, just the post contents.)
Sounds great R & R! Thanks for the heads up on yet another great USA micro.

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.

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...

It would appear that there was a very limited distribution of the Ephemere Pomme. Wonder why...

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.
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.
