April 9, 2011

142)  Home:  Curmudgeon IPA by Grand River Brewing of Ontario:  **1/2;  an out of the ordinary IPA;  deep copper colour;  unusual hop profile - more earthy and not at all floral/citrusy/piney but still very strong with a degree of bitterness;  Grand River is a brewery to keep an eye on and I look forward to trying their next effort;

143)  Home:  La Granja Stout by Norrebro Bryghus of Denmark:  **1/2;  a special batch brewed with Ontario maple syrup;  pours with almost no head;  nose is coffee with just a hint of sweetness;  the maple syrup is more prominent in the finish;  not excessively sweet;  nice maple and coffee notes;  my wife liked it;  I should point out that the "o" in Norrebro should have a slash through it;

Today is the feast of St. Demetrius.
