JR 6.0

It starts a little fruity and ends a little bitter. Some beers are good but you only appreciate them when you are near where they are made. Fine beer, but I will probably not drink anymore unless I am in Brampton, Ontario. For best results: pull tab (haha!). Its a good powerful Lager with nothing outstanding to it and an absence of particularity. The marketing is actually what attracted me to it. Nice logo and an intriguing sleek can witch resembles an energy drink. This days beer companies are really trying to get a piece of the pie of the energy drink craze. This is the one I found up to now to have the closest image. Both these industries are also trying to reach out to athletes not that there is anything wrong with this because at the end of the day people choose what they put in their own body. Personally, I rather the Michelob approach witch consists of printing the nutritional information on their product.

James Ready Light

James Ready is a Canadian brewing company, they self proclaimed this beer the winner of the awesomest light beer in the universe, whatever that means. I wouldn't go that far but I wasn't all disappointed. First of all the clearness is incredible, I believe I have never seen a beer this clear, good?, bad?, I don't know. It kinda tastes like club soda. I think club soda says it all. There is no pronounced taste and its easy to drink.Its dry, watery and bubbly all good adjectives to describe a beer except maybe for watery depending on the mood. The marketing is nice, I love the ''dragonesque'' lion. It goes well with salty foods like chips or popcorn but rare are the beers who don't. Doesn't taste much and is a 4% product, probably better enjoyed after sports on a hot summer day. Just got back from a dek hockey game so, I might be biased. The 8-pack format is quite unusual, I wonder why beer companies are always changing the packaging sizes, they should stick to 6,12 and 24.

6/10 Can this be considered beer? At least its not disgusting...

Sir John A's

This honey wheat ale from P.-E.-I. is said to be a light golden brew with honey-ish notes on the nose and a rounded off dry and slightly citrusy body. It is the gold medal winner at the 2011 Canadian Brewing Awards. Brewed by Gahan, it is not pasteurized. At first I was struck by its beautiful colour, I tought it was surprisingly pale by my expectations. The honey-ish notes, I could not find them. It is nice and dry tough and feels very light. The wheatyness is there and never goes away. The packaging date is very evident and clearly indicated witch is a plus. The bubbles are a tad creamy but fade away really quickly. The smell was a terrific arrangement of everything nice, but overall this one is not one of my favourites. This beer has 4.5% alcohol.

Rickard's Cardigan

This is a 5.5% Autumn Lager. The colour of the label reflects the beer really well. The bottle cap is a cardigan button witch is kind of funny. Very spicy, the taste of cinnamon steps out alot. This harvest Lager tastes and smells like pumpkin pie. It actually smells like old cardigans found in the attic of a pottery barn ad. Its to my taste too aromatic. It tends to sweeten if kept in mouth for a while. Its colour is a pale ginger. Is it an old folk beer? Is it distributed in cans? All I know is that there is a certain lightness to it despite its high alcohol content. As it is shown on the label: COOL, TILT, POUR, FINISH, ENJOY.
