473ml can served cold into a pint glass. Collab with Antares. Freshest by October 25, 2023. LCBO purchase for around $3.75 per can.
Appearance - Mostly clear amber brew with some slow rising bubbles to the surface where it meets the finger and a half of white head.
Smell - Mostly grainy aroma with some honey sweetness. Lightly floral as well. Not the biggest nose out there. Honey does open up more as the beer warms a bit.
Taste - Reasonably sweet, some honey layered in with a bready, grainy backbone. Lightly grassy and floral. Not a ton of depth but the falvors there carry through nicely into the aftertaste.
Mouthfeel - Medium bodied, ABV is very well hidden as this drinks like a tradition 5% ABV ale. Carbonation is expressive and just very easy to drink.
Overall - A hybrid of styles with this being similar to an amber, but with a significant honey element added that would make Greetings From Argentina a different style. Whatever you want to call it, it's tasty, has just the right amount of honey aspect to it, and drinks really easily. Very solid, and I will certainly pick up a couple more while availability lasts.

473 mL can from the LCBO; best before Oct 25 2023 and served barely chilled. Described as an "Argentinian honey ale" - can't say I have any experience with Argentine beer.
Pours a clear orange-amber colour, sporting an inch of loose, soapy white head that collapses within two minutes. A modest smattering of uneven lace is tossed about in the process, with a generous collar of froth remaining in place - looks as expected for a honey ale. It smells of honey, doughy bread and biscuity sweetness, with hints of ethanol, orchard fruit and hay. Vaguely aromatically similar to a maibock, primarily due to the hint of alcohol and its malt-forward nature.
It drinks like a strong honey beer - sweet, approachable flavours, but limited in depth. I'm getting honey and bready, biscuity malt sweetness at the forefront, lasting for the entirety of the sip. Hints of orchard fruit, maple candy and faintly grassy hops, with more honey lingering into a sweet, mildly warming aftertaste. Medium-full in body, with low carbonation that weakly rolls along the surface of the tongue; feels slick and smooth, suiting the honey theme nicely and also causing a light case of sticky lips. Very easy to drink for 6.5%.
Final Grade: 3.68, a B grade. I was going to add Greetings From Argentina as a blonde ale, but in retrospect that would've been a bad call: its sweet flavour profile is reminiscent of a honey brown, while its abv is a fair bit higher than most blondes. Amber ale seems like a good compromise, given that "honey ale" isn't a style. This beer's main problem is that it's a one-trick pony - the honey flavours are nice enough, but it doesn't feel like a well-rounded glass of beer. That being said, if you have a fondness for honey beers then have at 'er... minor gripes aside, good honey beers are not easy to find, so I'll pick up another couple of cans before it's gone.
