“St –Ambroise India Pale Ale” (IPA), McAuslan Brewing

January 18, 2013 by Dale Leave a Comment

Ok – so enough with winter beers for a bit, or at least until I attend Festibière d’hiver (WinterBeerFest) next weekend. We’re back to tasting new IPAs. Here’s a beer I picked up awhile back as well when, as I previously mentioned, I went in search of St-Ambroise Citrouille (Pumpkin Ale). I have long been…

“Desérables” (Maple Ale), Microbrasserie Le Grimoire

January 14, 2013 by Dale 2 Comments

Wow – so this is a bit of a fortuitous moment. I’ve had this beer from BroueHaHa in my fridge for going on 3 months waiting for the mood to strike me. At 8% alcohol and 660ml, I figured I needed to be ready to open this one. The label will certainly catch the eye of…

“L’Érabière” (Maple Pale Ale), Brasserie Schoune

January 12, 2013 by Dale Leave a Comment

Yummy. Oh, yeah … yummy, all the way. I could end it there – but I won’t. Brasserie Schoune out of Quebec has nailed this maple-beer, so much so that they’ve cleverly inserted the word itself (érable) into the name. And I must say, they have also very cleverly achieved a pure insertion of maple…

“Black IPA” (American Black Ale), Brasserie DunHam

January 10, 2013 by Dale Leave a Comment

It’s been awhile since a beer really made me go “Hmm … interesting” and then want another long sip. Dunham’s Black IPA, however, is definitely a palette surpriser … and pleaser. Even with the word “black” on the bottle, I was totally surprised at how this beer poured which you can tell from the overly…

“la Messe de Minuit” (Seasonal/Christmas Beer), Les Brasseurs du Temps (BDT)

January 7, 2013 by Dale Leave a Comment

In homage to the seasons (just passed) here’s a delicious brew that, admittedly, I’m a few weeks late in reviewing. I bought it at BroueHaHa with the best of intentions, but it was a busier season with less imbibing than I forecast … and cross-country ski season has arrived, so hours are in shorter supply. First,…

“West Coast Pale Ale” (Pale) by Church-Key Brewing Company

January 6, 2013 by Dale Leave a Comment

I chanced across this beer on tap at the Wellington Gastropub before Christmas and I quite enjoyed it on tap, so when I saw it in the LCBO a few weeks later, I bought a 6-pack with the promise to review it. I’ve since drank it twice and my conclusion of this beer remains the same…

“Boréale” (IPA) by Brasseurs Du Nord Inc.

December 19, 2012 by Dale Leave a Comment

In a word, Boréale is “balanced.” Indeed, it’s probably the most balanced IPA I’ve tasted thus far. The first taste is not what I’ve come to expect in an IPA. The carbonation is immediately present – which would make you think, “Wow – too much.” But that’s not the case – sure, there is more…

“Smashbomb Atomic IPA” (IPA) by Flying Monkeys

December 10, 2012 by Dale Leave a Comment

Ok, so here’s a brew that isn’t exactly new to me but it may be new to some of my readers. The fact that one of two Flying Monkeys’ beers has been a staple in my fridge for the past three or four years should probably be as good an indicator as any that I…

“Corne du Diable” (IPA), Brasserie Dieu du Ciel!

November 26, 2012 by Dale Leave a Comment

Delicious! Having said that, it occurs to me that I should start picking some yucky beers to create a bit more of a spectrum in my burgeoning beer annals here. Either that, or I’m as good at picking bottles off a beer shelf as plucking apples from a tree. Now if we could only graft…

“Hawaiian Style Pale Ale” (Pale Ale) by Spearhead

November 18, 2012 by Dale 1 Comment

Here’s a brilliant beer that is definitely worth enjoying. And if you like hoppy pale ales and IPAs in particular, this one has something special to offer. Similar to my first review of an APA last week, this relative newcomer has chosen West Coast hops, which is probably very appropriate because of the other integral…
