Trying out Katalyst’s (their spelling, not mine) Passion Project. Even though it is their passion, it appears to me that the ABV, the aroma and the flavour are all moderate in the traditional IPA world. It reminds me of the ancient saying “all things in moderation.”*...
The folks at Sawdust got their inspiration for this beer from a visit to Alsace. Where the hell is that I said to myself, my words exactly. There's lots of places I haven't been to and that's one of them. Apparently it is a Eastern region of France, bordering...
Broadhead’s slogan is “Work hard, drink easy”. Certainly not as profound as some of the meanderings on a Flying Monkeys beer can, but somehow appropriate for this down to earth beer. For us COMDB I would revise the slogan to read “Work hard, retire with far less than...
Waterloo calls this a Canadian IPA. So that is a Canadian Indian Pale Ale, as in the country India of course, just to be clear. Sounds like a beverage suitable and fitting for an embassy soiree perhaps? Nice amber-like pour with a bright white boar’s head. This is a...
For those who are not in to all the flavours craft beers have these days and are wistfully remembering a time when a beer came in two types - Lager or Ale, this could be your ticket. This is a clean, clear lager that is easy drinking. IBU is 14 which is pretty tame...
Old Tomorrow did a beautiful ale which had a silhouette of Sir John A*. Maybe that's politically incorrect these days** but it was a good beer anyway. Natural flavours? That's a good thing I guess as opposed to the alternative. It definitely has a peachy aroma, with...
This not so pale ale pours a dark golden bordering on amber with a nice snowy white head on top of the mountain.** Fresh aroma with some citrus for our daily vitamin C intake. But there was no fruit in the first swig, it was a little hoppy and bitter, not too bitter...
Helles*, well I’ll be Amster-damned. What kind of a profanity laced brew is this anyway? We usually save the profanity for the review. “Hell”* of a pour (bright golden), as one would expect, with enough head to reach the rim. Mild malt aroma, not very pronounced. A...
This Witbier from Napanee Beer Company features a woman flying a fighter plane on the can. Well, I guess she isn’t actually flying as the cockpit cover is open, her helmet strap is undone, her goggles are not on and she is waving and winking like she just arrived at...
This brew poured light golden and hazy with bubbles to spare up top. Mild aroma with a touch of fruit. It was a fizzy first swig. It's light on flavour, very mild fruit. The carbonation is quite pronounced although it did mellow a bit. No bite or bitters or...
