Has anyone tried this Belgian Pale Ale from NB? Can't say that I have, but I'll be in Burlington this weekend and may stop by to grab some.

I've had it on tap. Big Belgian-y flavours, so if you're into that pick up your limit.
I used to sell beer. Now I don't.

Sounds good to me, and the price seems alright too. Thanks!

Never noticed that! ;) And I never noticed the sharply funky smell inside either, which is near the back, I stay near the front.

There is something evil that lurks in there...

GLB's Thrust returns in cans and bottles at the retail shop this Friday. Bottles in the LCBO next week.

They make a lot of great IPAs and this one's my favourite, just ahead of Lake Effect.

Is thrust meant for hop heads or are the hops noticeably muted?

Noticed Bellwoods has a Monogamy in the bottle shop, according to the web-site. Didn't see a twitter post. Anyone know the hops used in this one?

Thanks.

Ah cool...I'll have to swing by to grab a Monogamy.
I've enjoyed sampling the single hop beers to see how I enjoy/dont enjoy the different hop profiles...haven't had the Centennial yet.

Identical in every respect. Haha, no it's an APA and I bet you a lighter overall profile, but tasty at a RB mean score 3.82 out of 5. I do miss Founders, it held a decent hop profile for a while.
