This was good. It was lighter in colour than I was expecting. It was a little on the sweeter side, but not as sweet as I expected with such a high sugar content.

I did not like this beer. It was very flavourful, but it was a flavour I did not like. It was a bitter beer.

This was a very strong beer. It was very flavourful, but it's not something I would go out and intentionally seek out. There was something about it that just didn't strike my fancy, not sure what it was. It wasn't as heavy as I thought it would be, but it certainly wasn't a light and refreshing beer.

We purchased ours at the LCBO in the craft beer section. Some restaurants also have it available (Beerbistro and C'est What?). Shillow is a nano-brewery based in Toronto, brewing out of Cameron's in Oakville.
