- Greg C. is drinking a Piñata - Ginger Peach Kettle Sour by Wellington Brewery at King & DufferinGinger & peach can overpower a beer if not well handled. But there’s no such problem here - both are nicely layered over the mellow sour ale
- Greg C. is drinking a Paper Crown - Dry-Hopped Kettle Sour by Wellington Brewery at King & DufferinA pleasant & easy drinking take on the style, with nice lemon yogurt tartness enhanced by citrus & pine character from the dry hopping.
- Greg C. is drinking an Ice Cider by Spirit Tree Estate Cidery at The Kay Gardner Beltline TrailSplit at tasting. Lacks the complexity of top notch ice ciders, but has a nice sweet-sour green apple thing going on.
- Greg C. is drinking an Emperor Norton by Almanac Beer Company at The Kay Gardner Beltline TrailSplit at tasting. Old bottle but still in pretty good nick - apricot meshes well with the strong Belgian-ish ale. I dig it.
- Greg C. is drinking a Mature Situations by Goose Island Brewhouse Toronto at The Kay Gardner Beltline TrailSplit at tasting. Everything noted in the description - honey, blackberry, lemon, Pinot Noir - is there in great balance. Nicely done.
