Octopus Wants to Fight | IPA | Great Lakes Brewery | Toronto

April 13, 2017 by Hopped & Bothered Leave a Comment

This year is Great Lake Brewery’s 30th anniversary and this remarkable and blue-chip craft brewer is commemorating the event with a year-long celebration of new, special beers. We both love GLB and one or more of their beers is a constant fixture in our fridge (esp. two previously reviewed by Dale Lake Effect and their…

Dale’s Pale Ale | APA | Oskar Blues Brewery

March 14, 2017 by Hopped & Bothered Leave a Comment

from the Brewer: This voluminously hopped mutha…  delivers a hoppy nose and assertive-but-balanced flavors of pale malts and citrusy floral hops from start to finish.  Oskar Blues launched its canning ops in 2002, brewing and hand-canning Dale’s Pale Ale in the Lyons, ColoRADo, brewpub. America’s first-craft-canned mountain Pale is a hearty, critically acclaimed trailblazer that…

Ale No. 6 ~ “Pale Ale Americaine” (APA) Brasserie Dunham

June 8, 2014 by Dale Leave a Comment

So for Ale No. 6 in the Ales Bells series, I’m turning my attention back to Ale No. 4, the English-styled pale ale. Why? Because if I’m going to write about one pale ale, the English version, then I really need to write about the other to make the comparison. Therefore, next up: a new American…

Ale No. 4 ~ “Signature Ale” (English Pale Ale) County Durham Brewing Company

June 6, 2014 by Dale Leave a Comment

For the fourth tasting in my Ales Bells series, I thought it appropriate to reintroduce myself to one of the standards in ales, the English-styled pale ale. Compared to the chocolate brown of my last tasting or the first in the series, Beau’s “Gilgamesh” (an “old ale”), you can clearly see the reason why this style is called…

“Yakima I.P.A.” (American Pale Ale) Le Castor Brewing Company

March 5, 2014 by Dale 2 Comments

A beer for the senses …. I know a great beer when I smell one … and I definitely know one to taste it. And, while a little tougher to discern, I often know one to see one. Here’s a beer that teaches you your own beer senses if you care to try them out….

“M.P.A.” (Imperial India Pale Ale), Renaissance Brewing Company

January 11, 2014 by Dale Leave a Comment

As evidenced by my last beer review, every risk does not bring with it a happy Discovery. So it is with some trepidation that I stepped off the cliff and prepared to sample the third of Renaissance’s beers that I had purchased, this one an imperial aka “double” India pale ale (DIPA). I love love…

“Discovery” (American Pale Ale), Renaissance Brewing Company

January 3, 2014 by Dale Leave a Comment

There seems no better way to start a new year or describe my own yearning in life than discovery …. So I pulled the second of the Renaissance trio I have in my fridge, intent to start the new year fresh and ready to explore what 2014 will bring me … and not so secretly…

Cascade Plus (Imperial IPA/Double IPA), Brasseurs Illimités

November 27, 2013 by Dale Leave a Comment

Cascade Plus (Imperial IPA/Double IPA) Brasseurs Illimités

Ultimately, I’m here to have experiences and share those experiences with you. So when I was presented the opportunity to take home a beer scoring 111 IBUs – that is international bitter units, the scale used to measure bitterness in beer) — there was no way I could refuse. By all accounts, this was going…
