'Fresh' maybe being operative. I'll reserve judgement. And I'll try to drink the remainders while working outside, this can amplify beer awesomeness in unexpected new ways,Craig wrote:I'd have no trouble at all going through 6 fresh grapefruit Sculpins. Very good beer.

It’s an excellent American strong ale. Get it while you can.ry_kinney wrote:That sounds awesome and has great reviews. Looking forward to this.spinrsx wrote:this looks interesting

That's the way she goes. Sometimes she goes, sometimes it doesn't. She didn't go. That's the way she goes.
Jesus...drinking an Exchange Brewery "New England" IPA that was just released at the LCBO in cans. $4.25 I should add.
It is absolutely horrendous. Looks like a west coast IPA and just tastes like alcohol. Hardly any discernible hops, and none of the qualities associated with the style. Almost a weird Belgian tripel taste. What a mess.

Completely agree regarding labelling it a New England IPA. Not sure what in the hell they were thinking. Not a worthy beer. Bought one and drank it while drunk so tried another. Will not buy again.Orval_Al wrote:Jesus...drinking an Exchange Brewery "New England" IPA that was just released at the LCBO in cans. $4.25 I should add.

In related news, picked up a couple of the new Sidelaunch Gateway IPA, also branded on the can as a New England style.Blasphomet wrote:Completely agree regarding labelling it a New England IPA.

This one actually fits the profile in terms of flavour and is quite nice overall. Appearance on the other hand once again doesn't make sense for a NEIPA. It looks like a Creemore in the glass. Odd copper colour. At least they got half of it right?

But the Rhubarb Saison and Raked Over IPA are new to LCBO distribution.JaseWescott wrote:Wellington Mix Pack Volume 6 is now in cans. unfortunately none of the beers in the pack are new.
Rhubarb Saison was in one of their past Welly Rebooted mix packs though, so it's really only one new beer for the LCBO. It's too bad, I enjoyed the mix packs in the past but I'll pass this time. I'm sure it saves them a lot of cost to include two core brands, but trying 4 unique beers was the whole reason I bought the previous packs.S.

Yes. Others have done this too. It makes one pause to evaluate whether trying the new beer is worth getting the others.seangm wrote:I'm sure it saves them a lot of cost to include two core brands, but trying 4 unique beers was the whole reason I bought the previous packs.S.

Agreed. I think I've bought each pack so far but will be skipping this one.seangm wrote:Rhubarb Saison was in one of their past Welly Rebooted mix packs though, so it's really only one new beer for the LCBO.

For sure. I did cave to get Tempest in that Amsterdam pack though, sometimes I can't resist.S. St. Jeb wrote:Yes. Others have done this too.
