SURREY, BC – Lime seems to be the beer flavour of the summer, as Russell Brewing have just launched a new Cactus Lime Lager. Described as a “premium light lager with a splash of light lime flavour”, it’s available in six-pack bottles throughout BC and Manitoba.

Also on the citrus-flavour front, Russell have released their previously draught-only Lemon Ale in bottles, with the same distribution as the Cactus Lime Lager.

Very nice Saison that is dry and prickly and crisp and lemony and a bit peppery, just how I like ‘em.

Better than I recall it being at the old location, and it was pretty decent even then. Sweetness seems more restrained. Great herbal finish.
Greg C. is drinking a Twice As Mad IIPA by Muskoka Brewery at King & Dufferin
Such a treat to have an IIPA that you can see through, and which tastes of bitter citrus & pine rather than sweet tropical fruit. #oldschool

Not as much lemon character as I expected - it leans more herbal/grassy with some citrus zest in the finish. Not bad, though.

Not keen on the slightly sludgy sediment, but the flavour is excellent & approximates an Old Fashioned remarkably well.
