Let me start out by saying I am a Mill St. fan. 100th Meridian is one of my personal favourites. Let me also say that I couldn’t give a rat’s ass whether something is organic or not. I am all for supporting the bees, but not at the expense of the taste of my beer. So...
Balls Falls sounds like a hernia to me. Not the most appealing name, maybe they should have a beer naming party? A name may help sell the beer (or not) but it has no bearing on its taste. So taste we shall. First impression, a bit bubbly, but that settled by second...
Nice dark pour, thin white head. Nice and cold. All set for a great tasting. This amber comes on strong, kickin’ ass and taking names. More flavour than I would expect from a 5 per center. Unlike my Maple Leafs who are no longer in the playfoffs despite a banner...
Picture perfect pour. But that is where the party ended. Tongue Tied for sure. Juice bomb, citrus, gusher, are all descriptors used on the can. “A soft kiss of stone fruit on the finish.” More like a French kiss from a giraffe! Nothing subtle or soft about this...
This honey lager looks great in the glass, but these little cans at 355ml are more like a dose than a quaff. They look pretty small next to a 500ml Sapporo, which segues into my rant about the major Canadian brewers. Sapporo bought Sleeman in 2013, joining the likes...
What we have here is an identity crisis. Am I a pale ale, or an IPA? I can’t decide. I am bursting with Hoppy flavour but trying to be light and smooth at the same time. Maybe I am a wanna be lager too. Or a lite beer? Not as many personalities as Sybil* but darn...
A traditional American Pale Ale, on the market since 1939. Not just pale, extra pale! How pale? Paler than the love child of Jim Gaffigan and Elvira. Paler than a sea-sick albino. Paler than my legs after a long winter. That’s how pale! This is the type of American...
Samuel Adams. A famous former New England patriot who was not married to a Victoria Secret supermodel. I guess in his day it might have been a model Victorian, which is quite a bit different I imagine. Some say Adams was a brewer, some say a maltster, the debate rages...
In an act of extreme patriotism the likes of which have seldom been seen outside of wartime, I find myself (a 60 year Maple Leafs fan) cheering for the Montreal Canadiens, the only Canadian team left in the playoffs. Is this a Twilight Zone episode of some parallel...
What the hell is a Voodoo Ranger? I know what voodoo is, sticking pins in doll. I know what a Ranger is. Ranger Smith chased Yogi Bear all over Jellystone Park. According to their marketing group, the selection of their skeleton mascot, which has nothing to do with...
