- Greg C. is drinking a Gillian (2016) by Goose Island Beer Co. at King & DufferinI spent 3 hours or so enjoying this bottle and got something a bit different from almost every sip. Great complexity yet so easy to drink.
- Greg C. is drinking a Baby Original by Burdock at King & DufferinLovely and effervescent saison with mild funk and a touch of tropical fruit. Off-dry finish with a mineral note. Great stuff.
- Greg C. is drinking a London Porter by Riverhead Brewing Company at The Kay Gardner Beltline TrailSplit at tasting. Roast - almost burnt - malt. Notes of dark roast coffee and cocoa husks. Needs a bit more body but generally well made.
- Greg C. is drinking a Hammer of Sucellus by Humalove Brewing at The Kay Gardner Beltline TrailSplit at tasting. Smells old & oxidized. Flavour is short and strongly bitter. Not much subtlety or complexity. Not to my taste. Ah well.
- Greg C. is drinking a Commissar by Unfiltered Brewing at The Kay Gardner Beltline TrailSplit at tasting. Some age on this, but held up well. Malty, boozy, rum & dark sugar. Warm finish, hit of bitterness. Rough but great.
