Canuck is currently just a one-off release, but we're considering looking at it again down the road. Our Orange Peel Ale is in the tanks, conditioning, and should be ready by the second week of March.

Naw. I won't be stopping. It is way too funny, and is a major source of entertainment for quite a few London and area bartowellers.
It is an inside joke and actually has nothing to do with race whatsoever. That is an assumption.
Besides,I'm not the one who put up a picture of an Asian guy.
Lenny speaks like that all the time... especially after a few Aventinus... ;D

I'll give it another chance when I see some good comments about the fresh batch.

Kim Jong-Il probably deserves to be made fun of in a movie parody, perhaps no less than Adolf Hitler in UNGLORIOUS BASTERDS. (Chaplin did it first!)

Jong Il's self-pity song is comedy gold, bless Trey Parker & Matt Stone for having some balls to make cutting satire that flies over some people's heads.

I've had a couple of bottles that have had a mild buttery character, but in a pleasant way, like I find in a lot of UK ales. Any more than that and I might've been turned off, but I quite liked it.

So, do I get sympathy for having washed one of my Sam Adams glasses to try this beer out—I defy anyone to get their hand in this thing—,only to discover that it's stinky and doesn't taste very good? (I don't feel I need to go in to the science of it right now, I have a hand cramp)

This high-tech aroma chamber allows me to fully experience the... unique... character of this bad boy.

It's called a brush LOL.

And since when is SA Lager stinky, I have never had that. Inoffensive and sometimes comes across bland, but a solid decent quencher.

Don't like the beer, could return it - and keep the glass while you're at it.
Jonas, he's talking about the Great Lakes beer and not SA Boston lager - he just referenced that he used the SA Glass to taste the Great Lakes beer.

Aye, that I was. But good call on the brush; I only claim to be smart during the week!
