duffs - you gotta give me your address if there's any rain left!
Ruination 10th anniversary. Remember the first time you smelled and tasted DFH 90 and the lightbulbs went off in your head? This is pretty damn close. Maltier and more palatable and interesting than Ruination (and I'm a ruination fan), the Alcohol is nowhere to be found in this one.

Bellwoods Lost River IPA - went to the bottle sale today which seemed to be well attended and picked up a bottle of each of their offerings that was being sold. Seven in total. This is a pretty good drink with tons of mango within and zero booze to be found. Way too easy going down.
This after seeing Take This Waltz with my girl. A feast of Toronto for me today.
Life is good.

Cracked a bottled of LTM Porter Baltique from last year, bottle a year ago today.
Still that same deep dark fruit nose, but more pronounced coffee and chocolate flavours I find. A little more bitter bite, too, but I'm assuming it's the roastiness of the malts. Smoky and woody, too.
Carbonation is holding up, but the head disappears quickly.
If I had gotten my act together and smoked some shoulder, this would be perfect with some pulled pork.
Lamb burgers it is!
Happy Canada Day!

Shipyard Smashed Blueberry - I go to Maine many a summer and have always been underwhelmed by Shipyard but I am very impressed by this one that I found at the LCBO. Much better than their pumpkin beer to my taste.
Phillips Ginger Beer - Plenty of ginger here, maybe a touch too much. Like it but not for everyday drinking. I appreciate the LCBO bringing this one in though, nice for variety.
Big Rig Gold - Good inoffensive crisp tasting lawn mower beer for hot summer day, or for feeding to Bud-drinking relatives at parties. Happy to drink it when their other varieties are out of stock.
