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...
North of 41, ha! The cranky old men drinking beer are all North of 61 let alone 41. That explains the old. And here I am at the end of my bag of chips, trying to dip those little pieces, getting dip on my fingers, trying not to get it on the channel changer. That...
A beer that tastes like scotch. Good lord, what a terrible combination that is. If you want scotch, drink a nice scotch. Don’t search for the taste of scotch in a beer. No wonder this is “original”, no one else would ever contemplate or try to copy such a foul...
I thought my picture background was a nice touch.* This beer was recommended by my old buddy Rick. If anyone knows his craft beers it is tricky Ricky, so when he mentioned this red ale I put it on my list. Although I am not a red ale fan, a poor man’s amber I always...
Not as blonde as a blonde, not as dark as a lager, a lagered blonde perhaps? Correct. This isn’t Henderson’s best. In fact Henderson’s Best is Henderson’s best, or Henderson’s best is Henderson’s Best. No matter how you say it Henderson’s Best Amber Lager is pretty...
For some of us who are up there in years, not elevation, an aerial view is the reception we used to get on the old black and white TV from rabbit ears. Lake of Bays has a different view in mind here. So is the view from the top worth the climb? If there is a nice cold...
Brilliant golden colour. Nickel Brook has newly branded their Cause & Effect, it is now steady. Solid, sturdy, sound, secure suds. Let’s just call it steady. Here is an example of cause and effect in an everyday sentence. I drink a good beer that I like (cause)...
Some pretty fancy art work on the can, almost as good as the full moon over the barn with a tractor on the Beau’s Night Märzen. On the can it says the artist is from Singapore. I guess there are no struggling artists in Canada that could use a little exposure? Not a...
A dark red pour, closing in on amber and slightly hazy. A nice fresh IPA aroma, a bit of hops a bit of citrus, it smells delicious. The first swig was a bit fizzy, not as much as my recent Ale Rousse but somewhat reminiscent. It has a subdued IPA taste with more...
I have deemed this St. Patrick’s Week for the simple reason that there are too many great Irish beers to sample in just one day if you aren’t Irish. So on St. Patrick’s Day Eve I decided to sample a Strong Patrick, a special edition of Irish style red ale by Beau’s. A...
