Re: Brock St Brewing

Nothing spectacular but these guys are close by me and sometimes an Irish red or blonde ale from these guys just hit the spot! Consistent non offensive offerings...

Shillow Bitter Waitress

Tried from a can ...not very hoppy...I'm not a fan of black IPAs but thought I'd try this anyway. A bit of roasted malt, licorice notes, but just not my thing. Anyone know what yeast they use in this brew, as I found none of those fruity esters I associate with traditional IPAs.

McKinnon Bros crosscut pale ale

Picked this up to try it as always up to support a new brewer. Well...this was underwhelming at best. No head retention, no lacing, no real malt backbone or hoppy notes. Tasted like an extract beer kit pale ale...

Re: What're you drinking right now?

Jutsu is my favourite pale ale in Ontario by far. I can't explain how great this stuff is fresh.

Left Field Resin Bag

I'm trying hard to like left field brewery and in truth I enjoy Eephus for what is, but I was underwhelmed by this and Grandstand wheat ale. Sunlight park was just an ok saison in my opinion too.
