- Greg C. is drinking a Not A Word Spoken - Apricot IPA by Wellington Brewery at King & DufferinExactly what I expect from a hazy IPA made with Simcoe & Citra hops and laced with apricot - i.e. big, bright, juicy, aromatic.
- Greg C. is drinking a Stout by Big Drop Brewing Co at King & DufferinThe low abv is betrayed somewhat by the light body, but the flavour is that of a proper pub stout - cocoa, coffee, slight smoky tang. Nice!
- Greg C. is drinking a Vintage Ale (2016) by Fuller, Smith & Turner at King & DufferinPort & plum preserves up front, touch of leather, good balance through the middle, bit warm in the finish.
- Greg C. is drinking an Ikinuki Ungespundetes Kellerbier by Godspeed Brewery at Bar Hop BrewcoGood lager with strong malt base but heavy hit of hops as well. Good body, full but not heavy. A pleasure to drink.
- Greg C. is drinking an After Hours: Raspberry Sour by PEI Brewing Company (Gahan) at King & DufferinSurprised to find this treat from my home province at the LCBO. Very good raspberry sour with natural tasting tart berry flavour.
