First in a small series on Shandy style beers, we come to Cool Beer's Stonewall Light. Made with natural ingredients and brewed at a facility at the base of the 427 in Etibicoke near Toronto. This brewery is famous for it's Millenium Buzz Beer, brewed with hemp seed, and it's spandex girls from trade shows. I've never had good luck with their beer, despite the fact they have won numerous awards.

Onto the tasting:

Pours clear gold in the glass with a thin white head made up of small bubbles. The aroma is tinny with musky wet grain and the minutest hint of lime peel. The taste is flat wet grain, skunk. The whole beer is unpalatable. Tinge of fresh lime on the finish. Aeration gives us more must and a metallic bite.

Impressions: Fail, So-so, Pass, Exceptional   


Cost: 5/6 PASS
Colour: 5/6 PASS
Beer Style: 0/6 FAIL
Re-Order:  0/6 FAIL
Experience:  0/6 FAIL


Final Thoughts:


More Than likely this beer was spoiled before I ever got to taste it. Why on earth do brewers insist on still using clear glass? Utter garbage.


Cheers
