- Greg C. is drinking a Donkey Venom w/ Black Currant (2018) by Bellwoods Brewery at King & DufferinA good sour ale with a big hit of tart black currant. Showing it’s age a bit, with some leathery oxidization. But still enjoyed it.
- Greg C. is drinking a Translucidus by Folly Brewpub at King & DufferinLovely & lively beer with moderate brett funk and subtle tropical fruit notes. Finish is dry and clean.
- Greg C. is drinking a Barrel Aged Farmhouse Saison by Mascot Brewery at King & DufferinThere’s a lot going on in this one - sharp & acidic tartness up front, some funk coming through, mellow oak, lemon & lime zest - very good!
- Greg C. is drinking an Oak Grove Barrel Aged Sour Ale by Bench Brewing Company at King & DufferinLooks a bit anemic in the glass - no head & lacks sparkle - and carbonation is also lacking. Flavour is good & as description promises. OK.
- Greg C. is drinking a Stone 09.09.09 Vertical Epic Ale by Stone Brewing at King & DufferinIn fine shape for 10+ years old. Oxidized, but we’ll carbonated, and plenty of chocolate, vanilla, oak & other notes promised on the label.
