28/428) The Monk's Kettle: Cuvee by Nickel Brook of Ontario: **; cidery champagne-like nose; biscuity with hints of apple cider;
29/429) Henry VIII Ale House, Etobicoke: English Ale by Tetley's of England: *1/2; creamy head; nose is mildly bitter English hops; English hops are well balanced with maltiness; I guess I could work on a joke involving the head and Henry's fondness for cutting heads off but I imagine few would find it worth my efforts;
Henry VIII is not my favourite monarch, being a Tudor and all that, but the ale house is a reasonable place and the service is good. This was the newer location. I think Bloor West Village may be a more accurate description of the location, rather then Etobicoke. I have been to the other one, which is undeniably in Etobicoke. The reason for today's visit is it is near where the Windermere String Quartet performs.
