Love to hear Matt's HO.JeffPorter wrote:waterloo ipa any good at all, matt?matt7215 wrote:king pilsner
waterloo IPA
as for me.. un-remarkable.
It might be one of their better beers but there are a lot of dogs in that race.
Kinda english style, kinda malty, little to nil hop aroma....bitter finish.
I know they weren't shooting at an APA, but with so many good Ontario beers out there.... only if you're really curious.
I give you 24 of these for 1 Boneshaker.
its a decent english bitter, probably pretty close to what something like greene king IPA tastes like before pasturization.NRman wrote:Love to hear Matt's HO.JeffPorter wrote:waterloo ipa any good at all, matt?matt7215 wrote:king pilsner

here my RB review:
473ml can from the brick brewery retail via their new mixed 6 pack with this new ipa, their amber and their dark. pretty good value for 6 tall cans for $12.95. very light estery, dusty hop, and fruity malt nose. the flavour is decent, light fruitiness, lingering spicey hop bit. balanced, but bland. pretty drinkable for what it is.
so IMO its not an ipa but its a pretty decent local english style bitter
i wouldnt turn one down but iwont be buying more
while were talking brick, the mixed 6er that this comes in is actually good value @ $12.95 for 6 tall cans
no one here will be blown away by any of the 3 beers inside but it a solid pack to introduce n00bs to different styles and new flavours
id actually take this mixed 6 over the mill st mixed 6

and a sample size of the Rogue Voodoo Doughnut Maple Bacon tastes like a maple syrup death campfire in my mouth thank god I only got a small glass cause I'd never get anywhere near through a full bottle of this stuff..
All thanks to The Casbah in Hamilton.

Derek, the original was a brown ale, all-malt, with a Cascade (or that type) flavour that was quite unique at the time. I believe the originator, Pete Slosberg, was (and is) based in San Francisco or the Bay Area somewhere.
I wonder why the name Texas Brown became associated with the American Brown Ale style..

Some Corps Mort Vin D'orge des Iles, an interesting barley wine with a hint of salt on the finish, and with dinner, A la Fut, La Bete Noire, a nice oatmeal stout.
