what did you get your hands on recently ? did you drink it ?
also, what beers do you drink on the regular ?

I bought pic related a week ago but I don't feel like getting a 75cl sour down so I'll wait to see friends and drink it with them. anyone here tried stuff from Cascade ?
otherwise I like camden hols or hefeweizen style when I just want to get one down the drain

Found out that there was a small bar near me that won best small bar in Western Australia in 2014 so i went to check it out. i found out that is has a bunch of different beer types i have never tried before.

i pretty much only drink pale ale but the best beer i had was a pineapple sour by a local brewer. What do you think i should try if i really enjoyed that style of beer?

Try more sours I guess. Berliner Weisses are pretty popular but have a low ABV. Goses seem to be the most brewed type but I think they are the worst type of sour, kind of a sweet & sour thing.

Head's up - the International Beer Shop in Leederville has 30% off all Belgian sour singles right now until the end of the month. Definitely worth checking out, Belgians are the masters of sour beer. The staff there are usually happy to give reccs if you want one.

I opened it after coming home.

Color is dark/brown almost like chocolate. But its not a heavy winter beer, on the contrary its quite refreshing and summer like.

Smell is citrus mostly with caramel notes.

Foam unlike most beers is awesome here. It tastes like caramel mostly and its not bitter at all for my taste.

The over all taste of the beer though does not come strong with caramel, it is countered by a coffee like flavor. So its caramel/coffee/normal beer taste.

After taste of the beer is coffee and alcohol as it is around 7-8% alch.

7.5/10 its a interesting beer but not something i was going for tonight!

I've had a number of the seasonal sampler packs that Beau's sells through the LCBO and I disagree entirely. Beau's is an all round solid brewery, but I don't think they're anywhere near best in the country (or the province for that matter). I do agree with you that they're fairly creative in what they choose to make, and I appreciate that they're typically brewing styles that aren't considered "trendy".

Look for fruity beers. Lots of beers (especially in the summer) will be brewed with fresh fruit as like an infusion thing--the downside of this is that you usually need to seek them out AT the breweries themselves. Saisons in particular are very good with fruit, and damn near every state has SOMEBODY with a cherry saison, it seems. Do some research to see if some fruity stuff gets canned/bottled and distributed in your area.

Also, try and find a peanut butter stout/porter (assuming you aren't allergic), those tend to be pretty sweet and unoffending.
