Day 154-Beer 154 Kellerbier, Creemore Springs, Creemore Ontario

Kellerbier is an unfiltered medieval German Lager. They say it was served straight from the brew masters cellar and was a true honour for special guests,  Well this one may have insulted them.  It has got high ratings from others but for me this one missed the mark. It pour and amber/orange colour with a fair amount of head that dissipated quickly and left strange little lumps of white floaters,  not very appealing visually. The wasn't much to the aroma, some caramel malt, grassy hops and musty bread. The taste was slightly bitter with some malt and musty grains. Not worth the price 2.9 out of 5.

Day 153-Beer 153 Rock Cut Baysville Lager, Lake of Bays Brewing Co. Baysville, Ontario

When in cottage country you need to try a cottage country beer. Rock Cut poured a
clear golden-yellow colour with lots of fizzy/bubbly head that dissipated rather quickly leaving only a small amount of lacing.. The aroma, just standard 'pale lager'  some pale malts, a hint something sweet, what was different it had somewhat of a sour background. The taste was nothing special, hints of grassy hops, sweet malts and a faint taste of sour apple. Overall a drinkable lager that one might enjoy sitting on the dock, but one will be enough, 3.2 out of 5

Hailbuton golf trip

I was in Haliburton on a golf trip for three days, we played three games on two different courses  and spent the evenings at Rob's cottage and slept at Bill's cottage. Had a great time, the company, food, golf and cards were great. Shot my best game of the year so far at Pinestone today before we left to come home. As for my beer sojourn, I did not miss a beat, Monday night was Rock Cut , Last night was Kellerbier and today was Mill St organic, unfortunately there was no internet available so here are the write-ups from each of the days' brews.

Day 152-Beer 152 Cutthroat West Coast Ale, Tree Brewing Co. Kelowna British Columbia

Just the Facts Ma'am, this one poured an amber/copper colour with lots of head that settled quickly and left a thin layer across the surface. The aroma was pine hops, citrus and a hint of honey malts. The taste is similar grapefruit, pine hops and hints of caramel malts. Overall an okay brew with a nice dry finish but it just seemed to be missing something . 3.4 out of 5

Day 151-Beer 151 Baldwin Fish Eye P.A. , Kensington Brewing Co. Guelph Ontario

Eye P.A. , no fish were harmed or caught in the process of making this beer, but it might make a lousy day of fishing seem a lot better. It poured a hazy copper colour with only a small one finger head. It did stick around for a while and when it faded it  left just a thin film across the surface that stuck nicely to the sides of the glass as you drank this brew.  It did not have a very strong aroma but there were hints of caramel malts, grapefruit, pine and hops. The taste was a lot more pronounced, sweet caramel and pale malts up front and a nice grapefruit and pine finish from the hops. A very nice IPA at 6.5% ABV that goes down with a creamy feel and a dry hoppy finish. 3.9 out of 5, If you like IPA you will end up buying more than one of this brew.

Day 150, May30- Beer 150 Beaver RiverI.P.Eh?, Beau's All Natural Brewing Co. Van Kleek Hill Ontario

#150 and counting, almost half way. What is I.P.Eh?  it took me a while but it finally clicked in a Canadian IPA and as we say in Canada, Eh?  It poured a hazy amber copper colour with lots of off white head that stayed forever, The flavour was mix of herbal and earthy hops with a grapefruit background and hints of caramel malts. What was different was that the bitterness did not linger as with most strong IPA's. Over all a very good brew , crisp, dry finish with nice hop bitterness, 3.9 out of 5

Day 149-Beer 149 Great Lakes Golden Horseshoe, Great Lakes Brewery, Etobicoke Ontario

Out for a night with the boys, had some golden horseshoe on tap. It arrived in a pitcher  a nice golden color with a big head made by little bubbles. In the glass the head was adequate but left very little lacing.  The aroma is malty  with hints of grain and a faint hint of hops. The taste is that of most lagers, mild malts, hints of hops and cereal grains, but nothing outstanding.  It is a nice smooth and refreshing beer that one can easily drink for the evening as we did.  It is the cheapest beer on tap at the pub that we were at, a definite plus for this one and it is better than most of the lagers from the big Canadian breweries.  3.5 out of 5
