176/1157) C'est What:  Bell Ringer IPA by Gananoque Brewing Company of Ontario:  **;  6.5%, 60 ibu;  earthy hop nose;  bitter, rooty hop flavours with a lingering bitter after taste;  it's no Train Wreck but it is good;  in fact it is a re-tooled Train Wreck with a less insensitive name given recent events and more in line with their new home in an historic building in Gananoque;

177/1158) C'est What:  Island Hopper by Wellington County Brewery of Ontario:  *1/2;  4.8%, 45 ibu;  on  cask, gravity feed;  a perfectly clear pale ale;  mildly gingery nose, watery mouth feel;  eminently quaffable;  largely washed out taste with a pleasant mild hoppiness;  a very upscale patio/lawn mower beer;  brewed with locally grown bee balm leaves;

178/1159) C'est What:  Ooh Mommy Cremini Mushroom Ale by Church Key of Omtario:  1/2;  7.0%;  mouldy, fungusy nose. like a booze -soaked mushroom;  mouldy, fungusy flavours with a touch of melon which makes no sense at all and a bizarre after taste;  I could barely finish it;    it took a Smashbomb to re-set my palate and my being in general after this tauma;

179/1160) The 3 Brewers:  Anthos by The 3 Brewers of Ontario:  *1/2;  5.3%, 20 ibu;  an unfiltered wheat beer brewed with rosemary;  spiced rosemary nose;  tastes of spices with a sweet finish and herbal bitter after taste;  

Anthos is the Greek/Latin word for rosemary.
