42/442)  Home:  Traditional Ale by Big Rock Brewery of Alberta:  **1/2;  a malty English style brown ale;  a bit of a throw-back to the days when we spoke of "micro-breweries" and why not?  Big Rock were pioneers of the Canadian scene;  rich and biscuity and reminiscent of the very best of that era;

43/443)  Home:  Blond by Innis & Gunn of Scotland:  *1/2;  a  6% "lightly oaked beer", matured 37 days;  hints of vanilla, oak and fruit;  I have to question Innis and Gunn's insistence on using clear bottles -  mine had signs of light damage;  more of their line should be in boxes;
