VICTORIA, BC – Vancouver Island Brewery has released this year’s edition of the winter seasonal Hermannator Ice Bock:
Hermannator Ice Bock is a dark chestnut colour that appears almost opaque. Its full-bodied, rich malt palate blends well with mild bitterness. A smooth, but assertive mouthfeel contains hints of plum spiciness. A warming brandy like finish rounds out this outstanding winter ice bock.
Hermannator has been in select Victoria-area liquor stores since late October, and will remain available while supplies last.

- Greg C. is drinking an Infinite Offering by Kensington Brewing Company at Kensington Brewing CompanySubtle smoke. Juniper & white pepper & lemongrass. Back-of-throat dryness that encourages another swig. Complex but quaffable. Very good.
- Greg C. is drinking a Sour IPA W/ Lactose by Bellwoods Brewery at King & DufferinDon’t usually like lactose in pale ales but this one works. Not too sweet or milky, soft body, great balance of tart pineapple & citrus.
- Greg C. is drinking a Mad & Noisy Orange Pale Ale by Creemore Springs at King & DufferinCall a beer Orange Pale Ale & I expect a good hit of orange, not a faint hint in a malt-forward pale ale. Not bad, but worse - it’s boring.
- Greg C. is drinking a Food Truck Beer by Henderson Brewing Co at King & DufferinA malty and relatively sweet ale that is easy to drink and causes no offense. Not really my bag, but perfectly fine for what it is.
- Greg C. is drinking a Metaxis: Apricot by Folly Brewpub at King & DufferinStarts with some subtle complexity, nice combo of mellow brett & apricot, then BOOM! super-sharp sourness through the middle & finish.
