Re: Random Reviews

Just had an Underdogs All or Nothing and this has really changed to me since the summer.
I'm getting no banana or bubblegum and that traditional hazy German hopfenweisse look is missing...another Durham region brewery disappointing me lately

Haliburton highlands wheat ale

Picked up some of this as well as their abbey and a pale ale on Saturday. The bottle date is July 4 so as fresh as possible. The wheat ale misses the mark completely. Not traditional cloudy appearance. No banana or clove notes at all. Thin mouthfeel no head retention. I love supporting these cottage...

Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS

I get fresh Naughty Neighbour at the LCBO by union st 1-2 weeks old and it amazing fresh so no need to buy 2-3 month old SNPA. If it comes fresh I will try it then.
