Tonight's brew poured a hazy honey/golden colour with nice white head with lots of carbonation bubblesand a spotting of lacing. It's aroma was citrus, tropical fruit and hops.

Day 133-Beer 133 Alexander Keith's Galaxy Hop Ale, Alexander Keith's Brewery, Halifax, Nova Scotia

this is one of Alexander's Hop Series. It pour a golden amber colour with good head that left only spotty surface covering. The aroma was malt, from the Australian hop and a hint of citrus background. the taste was caramel malts with a touch of tropical fruit and just enough citrus hop bitterness that kept it from being just another ale. A pretty good attempt at a craft beer style from a big brewer 3.7 out of 5.

Day 132-Beer 132 Hops and Bolts, Mad and Noisy Brewing Co. Creemore Ontario.

An interesting fact the Mad and the Noisy Rivers collide just outside the town of Creemore, hence its name. It is somewhat of a subsidiary of Creemore Springs Brewery. Anyhow this brew is "not for the faint of hops". It is unusual in that it is an India Pale Lager rather than the tradition English style IPA. It poured a slightly hazy amber/copper colour with lots of creamy of white head that left a thin film across the surface as it dissipated and it stuck nicely to the sides of the glass. The aroma was sweet malts, floral hops and citrus, grapefruit, but not as strong on the hop aroma as many IPA's. It is a very interesting IP Lager and as the label suggests is has nice bitter hop flavours with a hint of very dark chocolate, sweet caramel with a grapefruit background. Overall a medium bodied lager with nice hop bitterness, well balanced and very enjoyable to drink. This one gets an excellent rating 3.9 out of 4

Day 131-Beer 131 Karlovacko, Karlovacko Pivovara,Karlovac, Croatia

Any beer named after a Carl even if it's spelt with a K should be good. This beer is a Czech style pilsner. It poured a clear golden colour with just a little head that dissipated quickly and left no lacing but it did have a nice continuous flow of carbonation bubbles. The aroma was sweet barley malts and grain. The taste was is typical lager sweet malt with hints of grassy hops. Overall it was fairly light, crisp, clean, refreshing, and dry. A very good beer for its type 3.7 out of 5

Day 130-Beer 130 Mad Tom IP, Muskoka Brewery, Bracebridge, Ontario

Tonight's brew was inspired by the campfire stories of mad tom and as such it should grab your attention. It poured a hazy copper/amber colour. It produce a little head that left some lacing across the surface and around the edge. It aroma was spice and citrus. The flavour was grapefruit, pine and hop bitterness with a background of caramel malt. Nice lingering hop bitterness with a touch of sweetness. Overall a good IPA 3.7 out of 5

Day 129-Beer 129 Robson Street Hefeweizen, Granville Island Brewing Co., Vancouver British Columbia

If you have to add fruit to it to make it taste good...... tonight's beer is a hefeweizen that right on the can it states that a lemon wedge would be the perfect accessory? It poured a hazy golden amber colour with only a little head that dissipated quickly and left only a spattering of cover. The aroma was tangerine, banana, wheat. The flavour was banana, a hint of spice and tangerine. The beer was far to watery to be a good hefe. 3.1 out of 5

Day 128-Beer 128 Honey IPA, Trafalgar Ales and \meads, Oakville Ontario

Another local beer, this one from Oakville. It poured a hazy copper/amber colour with only a little off white head that settled to just a thin foam layer. The aroma was honey, malts and just a hint of spicy hops. The flavour was sweet up front, honey and roasted malts with some hop bitterness on the finish. Not as much as expected for an IPA. The overall feeling was it was a little watery and flat and not enough hop bang for the style. It would better be described as a honey ale with a touch of hops. 3.3 out of 5
