Cool - that must have been a treat. Out of curiosity, where did you get the Goudenband?

I must say they are quite a treat. I've had an 88, and an 87. The 87 I shared with some folks on here, and it was might fine.
If you`re reading this, there`s a 15% chance you`ve got a significant drinking problem. Get it fixed, get recovered!
I had a choice between a Victory Hop Devil that has been expired for almost a year and a Tankhouse Ale. I chose the Hop Devil. Sadly still trumps the Tankhouse.

Tankhouse is one of the best beers available at my local LCBO. Certainly the hoppiest. Sad, I know.
Had a Duchy Organic Ale with dinner tonight......left over from the winter and only average. However, I drank a few Bell's Hopslam's this weekend that I brought back from Kalamazoo. Those may down-grade every thing else I'll be drinking this week.

Well, it's Monday night so I'm not quite up to playing macho CAMRA/Hop superhero, so I'm hanging up my tights for the night and having a Tankhouse too.
If this were to become the generic session ale of the town, we would have little to complain about.
I'm sitting out back, watching my kids play, and enjoying a Headstrong Pale Ale. (Quickly becoming a favourite.)
And I'll second Tapsucker's Tankhouse comment. Nothing wrong with that beer at all.
