Weird.

Possible the first arrivals just sold real quick and more will soon be sent from the warehouse. Ask infoline! I never rely on LC online for complete information, I ask questions.

SR might have worried that it was actually pee.

There were less than 1000 6 packs that came in....something like 600 or so I believe.

It shows there are 2316 units on hand in the warehouse of Yellow Snow right now....I'm going to assume these are for the release. Probably going to be the same bottle date however so not exactly going to be all that fresh when they hit shelves

A new list has been released by the LCBO showing the sizes/formats for the beers in the release, as well as a few price adjustments. I've updated the list in the first post accordingly.

I bought one in Rochester a month ago. I was not a fan, that being said, I will buy another and let it age.

This is what I wrote about it:

"I think some aging would do this well, but right now, its sweet, boozy, lots of dry fruit, and a bitterness I do not like."

I agree with a lot of the RB reviews of it.
