Wellington Terrestrial India Brown Ale - very good
Ayinger Weizen-Bock - excellent
2009 Mikkeller Weinbrand Barrel Aged Red Ale - outstanding

Kronnenberg- a sample from a rep @ work. Haven't had this for years.... Much worse than I remember.

Wellington EE-II-EE-II-oh farmhouse IPA. this is really really good. Very tropical, love thT sorachi hop. Easy drinking and refreshing. I'd say this is the best Wellington product I've had

Peche mortel- outstanding

Smuttynose Porter, one of the best ever.

Am still dreaming about the Evil Twin stuff they have on tap at Coles/Blue Monk!

I had a few imperial Porters (one was Biscotti Break) and 2 or 3 others including the amazing Berliner Weisse with Strawberry and Olive (the berry tartness made it taste almost like Leipziger Gose). Ontario brewers - take note of an astounding Berliner if it's possible to make a super tart & flavorful one like this.

DFH WWS 2013 as well, $5.00 for a 5 oz, nice stuff.

I had that olive one too, mostly out of morbid curiosity. Easily the best olive beer I've ever had.

Princess Wears Girl Pants on tap at Indie Alehouse. Belgian Golden Ale? 9% ABV. Delicious, strong, yet not overpowering. Not as sweet as most belgians, which is a plus here, and not as malty as one would expect. Highly recommended.

I've really been loving this last batch of Roman Candle. It's a bit different from the first one, maybe a bit funkier. But it's very pleasing both on draft and in bottle.

I was in Guelph earlier this week and picked up a bottle of this (as well as the simultaneously-released Southern Twang BBA IPA, which I have not opened yet). I am highly inclined to agree with you. Possibly the most refreshing & drinkable 7.5% beer I've ever had, with a really nice, smooth mouthfeel. I'm not typically a big fan of Sorachi Ace hops but they work out quite well here. It's worth bringing back as a seasonal.

Had a few of the Rainhard bottles last night. Armed n Citra was my favourite of the bunch.
