Amager Kaad is unexceptional for seven bucks, I look forward to Thornbridge which usually delivers big on hops complexity.

It's over the top sweet but that's all malt, no lactose or sweeteners and can always use it for a beer ice cream or a great stew or chili. Unlike VDK Blau it's not one I would stock up on!

I assumed this, and stayed away. Far too expensive.

The Thornbridge Halcyon like the Jaipur is again good, my favorite from them is still the Kipling APA which perfectly showcases its amazing South Pacific Nelson Sauvin hops.

hope this ends up happening, it's one of my favourite beers. And as I recall, it was going to listed at a very reasonable price.
It is a good bet to happen. The reason the plug was pulled the first time was because the bottle has thick glass and the 12x750ml cases were going to be slightly over the weight limit allowed by LCBO. The issue has been resolved but the price may be a little higher based on the Canadian dollar crash and extra steps required to make it compliant.
