Tree Brewing Co. Captivator Doppel Bock

Dark amber/brown. Malt and black liquorice yet unexpectedly light on the palate. Not a heavy beer despite being a Doppel Bock.

The mandarins seem to like it as well since it just won a gold medal at the 2012 Canadian Brewing Awards in the Bock – Traditional German Style category. Congrats!

Hopwired IPA by 8 Wired Brewing Co. New Zealand

Deep amber, lovely hopiness on the nose, surprising black liquorice hint in the palate with a fair amount to malt interplay with the expected bitterness.

Legendary Muskoka Oddity


Fresh & yeasty on the nose & palate. The Belgian influence comes through loud & clear.

Lake of Bays Spring Maple Belgian Blonde Ale


Golden yellow; distinct Belgian sweetness on the nose and palate with a hint of banana.

Nickel Brook Maple Porter


Black/brown; hints of cedar wood on the nose; slightly metallic and lighter on the palate than expected. Overall the maple is very subtle.

.@CameronsBrewing Rye Pale Ale #RPA 
An extremely well-balanced beer that is unwaveringly pleasant from slightly hoppy nose to smooth palate to velvet finish.

Tree Brewing Co. Hop Head Double IPA 
Dark amber; hoppy nose leads to a surprising sweetness on the attack. Palate is quickly overcome by a bitterness racing in from the edges that sets-up permanent residence on the finish.
