When your 2 year old daughter tells you that her bunny needs to be in the beer photo there is only one option. Hopefully the bunny enjoyed this beer as much as I did. ItContinue reading
Cloudwater – NE DIPA Enigma Mosaic (8.5%)
Hazy golden colour with chunky sediment, thin white head. A mix of grassy and citrus fruit hops over a slightly sweet malt base. It is a bit of an enigma as it doesn’t shout goodContinue reading
Half Pints – Pothole Porter (7.9%)
I was looking forward to some Half Pints beers when visiting Winnipeg for the second time and this one didn’t disappoint. The name is very fitting for the current spring thaw as craters open unContinue reading
Lac Saint-Jean Boutefeu Red Ale (5.1%)
This red ale from Microbrasserie de Lac Saint-Jean is full of roasted flavour but is still light enough to be an easy drinking ale. The appearance is surprisingly dark for a red ale with aContinue reading
Cameron’s Ambear Red Ale (5%)
Smooth red ale from Cameron’s Brewing in Oakville, Ontario. Light ruby in colour with a smooth malty body and some citrus hops to finish. There is very little aftertaste which makes this ale perfect forContinue reading
Barnstormer Cirrus Session Pale Ale (4.5%)
Very easy drinking pale ale from Barnstormer Brewing in Barrie, Ontario. The ale is a great combination of a European wheat beer body and a North American IPA hopped finish. Initial hints of smooth tropicalContinue reading
Muskoka Summerweiss (5%)
Unfiltered Weiss by Muskoka which I was eager to try. Sadly I was disappointed by how light the beer is. Being unfiltered I expected more flavour but it was pretty watery. Good for drinking a large quantity but lacking flavour and body.
Maisel’s Weisse (5.2%)
Hefe-weissbier with a nice rich wheat body and a very satisfying amount of flavour. Very similar to other German wheat beers but maybe a touch more sweetness. Worth buying again? Yes
Belfast Black Dry Stout (4.2%)
Lightish stout which reminds me of the original Guinness but missing some of the malty richness. While I feel the beer could have a little more body it does have some coffee flavour which replacesContinue reading
Golden Eagle Beer (5%)
Very basic lager taste with a horrible aftertaste. I didn’t even drink half the bottle as the aftertaste was so bad it brought back memories of Tennents from a can. After disposing of the beerContinue reading
