219)  Home:  2XIPA by Southern Tier Brewery of New York, U.S.A.:  **;  I used the opportunity to have a face off with Southern Tier IPA;  the 2XIPA is a paler blond colour with a hoppier nose;  it is 8.2% but not as bitter as many IPAs and double IPAs;

220)  Home:  Belgian Wit by Mill Street Brewery of Ontario:  **;  brewed with wheat malt as well as wheat flakes (would this make it a breakfast beer?), dried orange peel and ground coriander;  the taste is like an Abbey ale but with notes of spice and orange;
