"Summerlicious 2017 at Liberty Commons:\n\n\"Drunk + Smoked Salmon\" consisted of ale-cured salmon, toasted crumpet, smoked salmon p\u00E2t\u00E9, and hopped whiskey jelly. It was a really small portion (both appetizers were). It was in essence just the ingredients put together on a plate. I REALLY enjoyed the taste of the smoked salmon p\u00E2t\u00E9. The hopped whiskey jelly was good too. I thought that there could have been more of the ale-cured salmon; there were only two small and thin slices of it. \n\nThe Hogtown Terrine was a smoked ham hock with leeks, piccalilli, and beer cheddar soda bread. This was also just a smattering of ingredients on a plate. The smoked ham hock went wed with the beer shedder soda bread. By itself, the ham hock was a bit on the salty side.\n\nAlberta Lamb Burger: This burger had a merguez-spiced lamb patty with tzatziki, goat cheese, and were served with fresh-cut fries. This was a huge portion! The lamb burger was really good. Like D said, it was very gamey and it was overall a tasty burger. There was a lot of goat cheese in it too. The fresh-cut fries were good.\n\nI ordered the Commoner's Smoke Plate. This was an assortment of their main meats and sides on a metal tray. This included Canadian brisket, spareribs, and potato salad (and cheese scone and some coleslaw). There was also a BR Traditional Ale BBQ sauce. This was neat because in addition to the container of sauce, there was a full mini bottle of \"Rhine stone Cowboy BBQ Hot Sauce\" that was a souvenir to take home.\n\nI loved the assortment of goods on my table. I really liked the spareribs. I thought they were so tender and practically fell off the bone. However, after a few bites, they tasted more salty than we would have liked. The Canadian brisket appeared like it was dry and indeed, it tasted dry. I liked the potato salad, coleslaw, and the cheese scone.\n\nS'mores Soft Serve: To our surprise, this appeared not as a dessert in a dish but actually as a soft serve cone! This included toasted marshmallow, graham cracker, and chocolate.\n\nAfter a few photos, we had to eat this quickly because it was immediately melting. We asked our server for a plate and spoons so that we could share this properly. In the end, because I liked this dessert more than D, I took the cone over and finished it. I really enjoyed it! The chocolate bits on top of the toasted marshmallow ice cream was delicious for my chocolate-loving taste buds. The graham cracker wasn't very obvious though.\n\nThe dessert that I ordered was the Beer-ver-tails (again, so creative; right?). This was two pieces of deep-fried beer dough with cinnamon sugar dusted on it and a container of maple cream on the side. Wow, the maple cream was delicious!! I thought this maple cream made the deep-fried beer dough stand out. I wasn't a big fan of the main component, the beer though. D loved it though and we switched desserts. \n\nOverall, this was a pretty good meal at Liberty Commons. It was a nice overview to taste the items that they offer here. It wasn't anything too fancy though and I'm not sure if I would run back for another meal here. However, when I was flipping through their regular menu, they have some really great deals on food and drinks (and a brunch menu too)!"^^ . "0"^^ . "0"^^ . "3"^^ . . . "0"^^ . .
