Lager Logic

Lager Logic

This was an odd and confusing review for me. It progressed chronologically* although perhaps not logically. Dark, black pour, but as bubbly as Doris Day. A foamy top that ruled the roost for a while. A malty aroma, not strong but distinctive. Carbonated head but no...

Knows no Limits?

Knows no Limits?

After reviewing Creemore’s Boundless I advanced to All or Nothing’s Limitless. Will I experience limitlessness? I am bound to, hence I am not boundless? There must be a limit to this wordplay. A nice bright golden pour, with a minimal white head. Fresh light malty...

Rowdy? Not.

Rowdy? Not.

COMDB Editor: “Hey cranky old Scotsman, what do you wear under that kilt, boxers or briefs?” Cranky Old Scotsman: “Depends.” This beer pours a little hazy and a bit bubbly, with a dull golden colour and a frothy white head. A mild slightly citrus aroma, very mild....

Read the Fine Print

After sampling Double Up I was worried that this one would be too much coffee for me too.  However, our esteemed editor has reminded me on countless occasions to read the fine print. Unfortunately my optometrist told me that bifocals are no longer an option for me....

Cross Czech

Cross Czech

A little can of amber, Czech style nonetheless. Don't we usually get 500ml of an International brew, not an old 355ml stubby.. I tried to pronounce the name, I guess I will just call this one Czech Amber. A darker than amber pour, more like a solid brown, thin off...

This pours very light, it actually looks like lemonade going into the glass. Hazy yellow. Lets put it this way, if snow was this colour I wouldn’t be eating it. White bubbly head. Frisky aroma, citrus and bubbly. Lots of IPAs have citrus notes, often grapefruit. This...

Double Shot

Double Shot

I like coffee as much as the next guy, unless the next guy is Farmer Steve. Coffee is Farmer Steve’s Amber. He is a caf-fiend. A 10 McCafé day is child’s play for him. All that being said I don’t know how he would react to this coffee rich stout. I think he would...

99 Amber Ale

99 Amber Ale

A double hopped amber ale. Every can supports the Wayne Gretzky Foundation. I would think that Gretzky had made enough money with all his product placements and investments that there was no need for a charity to support him but these pro athletes tend to live the...

Easy Amber

Easy Amber

I love a good Amber and this offering from Perth Brewery is decent. But before we talk about the beer I have a bone to pick with the label. The beer is called Easy Amber. This is fine, a decent Amber should be easy drinking. But the picture on the label is a different...

Rush

Rush

I remember when Rush put out their first album in 74. “In the Mood” was on the radio, a pretty predictable rock song but with a catchy riff. We went to see them in concert in 75. Smoky stadium, terrible acoustics. The band sucked. Their equipment echoed and...
