My first ever Propeller ESB. For some reason I just never got around to it. Anyway, it's good to know there's more happening in Nova Scotia than Keith's. Waiting on deck from the opposite coast is another Canadian first for me - Central City Red Racer IPA. :D

Propeller ESB is great!

I'm drinking a bottle of 3 Fonteinen Schaerbeekse Kriek. My case showed up today, so I figured I'll drink one now and save the rest for later. This is probably the best kriek I have ever had. Beats everything else easily.

Ecume (from A l'Abri de la Tempete) - Have no idea why this rated so low, even stylistically. Probably one of the 5 best lagers I've ever had.

La Vache Folle ESB - very more-ish
Red Racer IPA - nice solid IPA

How was the saison. Got one last week to try. Might wait on it for a bit and concentrate on my hoppy stash while its fresh.

It was very good. Not a style that I generally gravitate towards, so I don't have a lot of experience with other examples of the style. I am looking forward to th e Dubbel more than I was to this one...

Haven't posted in this thread for quite some time.

Been thoroughly enjoying my case of 5am Saint from the BrewDog order this week.

Great Lakes Red Leaf Lager, better than I thought it would be. Far redder colour than I expected, but still not a lot of flavour to it. Happy I tried it, not sure I'd buy it again.

And a Southern Tier 2XIPA. Damn, that's a good IPA. Probably one of my favourites.

And the lady had a Dieu du Ciel! Rosee d'Hibiscus beer, of which I found a few at the Manulife LCBO. Nice surprise after not seeing it at my local LCBO for a few months.

Also hoping to open up a bottle of Quelque Chose later tonight.

Just poured myself a pint of homebrewed RIS (Stone clone), trying to figure out the best way to put a serious dent into the ridiculous hop stockpile in my freezer tomorrow.

Pliny clone? Hopslam?
