Vicaris Tripel/Gueuze.

This was 1/5 bottles that I recently mailed to myself from Alberta that froze on transport......beer in the bottom of the ziplock, despite the cap looking sealed and intact. This bottle self sealed and the beer is still good, with appropriate carbonation. A de Molen/Mikkeller Mikkel and Menno Weizenbock wasn't so lucky. Flat and sour. The other 3 bottles were Tilquin Gueuze. Their fate is yet unlnown. Fingers crossed.

Derniere Volonte. I always feel like the IPA part is missing from this.

Beautiful beer when it's 'on' which is usually 'On Tap' somewhere.

Same for DDC Aphrodisiaque, it's a whole 'nother level on draught at the brew pub (although I still buy cases of it cheaply at Provigo in Montreal.)

Yeah, I've had it on tap. It might just be that the hops blend too well. I had the Dunham Belge at the same sitting and it struck me as being more appropriate for the style, obvious Belgian yeast, but a focus on piney hops rather than well-incorporated citrus flavours.

Short's Huma Lupa Licious IPA. The bitterness is really reminding me of how Scotch Irish's Sgt. Major's IPA used to taste. I miss that old beer.

Radical Road Canny Man - quite tasty, just let this get to just below room temp and make sure you get the carbonation in your glass real low (carbonation right out of the bottle is almost champagne-like)...

Just had a Sixpoint The Crisp at Momofuku. Pretty good. Funny thing about pilsners - I never seek them out but always enjoy them.

This is also the first time I've seen a Sixpoint beer on a menu in Toronto, but then, I haven't been looking too hard...
