Strong Swedish beer, slight lemon notes, very pleasant flavour and smoothness. It could well be a repeat purchase, but it would be a dangerous beer to have around on a hot summer day.

Blast Off
Hitting the space bar again* after a bad experience with a zero gravity beer that garnered a close to zero rating, it was nice to check out Lost in Orbit, which was actually a little more down to earth. This hazy IPA had a fruitful aroma with a bit of bubble to it,...
Crazy Mad
Double Trouble and we aren't talking about Stevie Ray Vaughn’s backup band. When I reviewed Mad Tom I posed the question, is he angry mad or crazy mad. With this strong Imperial IPA, Tom is twice as mad and there is no doubt about it, he is crazy mad, as in seriously...
Out of Bounds
Apparently Creemore’s IPA knows no bounds. I am not quite sure what that means so I thought I might do a tasting and try to figure it out. Nice golden pour with a bright white head, not very hazy, a fine upstanding pour if I do say so myself. Of course you can’t judge...
Craft & Pine Opine
CryoHops™ sounds futuristic, which seems to fit what Hop Valley calls their “new age IPA”. Hop Valley* is owned by Molson Coors, so once again we pose the question, craft brew or crafty marketing? As Famer Steve is prone to say (when he is not prone) “sounds like a...
Lady Friend
From the quaint hamlet of Elora and the famous Elora Gorge comes a feisty brew, Lady Friend IPA. Not sure what the name has to do with the beer or what a woman giving a bear a stiff upper cut has to do with anything let alone the price of tea in China, but that is...
Skeletons in the Closet
The skeleton on the can is riding a boneshaker bicycle.* That segues well into a skeleton joke I have paraphrased from the grandkids. Q: Why is the skeleton riding the bike on his own? A: Because he has no body to ride with. ** Of course the term boneshaker in this...
Tractor Pull
Farmer Steve tells us that during the last snowstorm his tractor was up to the job, moving snow like a pro. Just like Farmer Steve’s Kubota, Beau’s has their tractor cranked up and working full time and full throttle on this IPA. This IPA has a very fresh citrusy...
Limited for a Reason
From boundless to limitless, and now the skies the limit. At least we are starting to set achievable goals. Ironically, and perhaps mercifully, this is a limited release. This beer had a very hazy pour and a very hoppy citrus aroma, not boozy just very fresh. Thin...
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....
