Day 310-Beer 310 Sofie, Goose Island Beer Co. Chicago Illinois

This one is a Belgian style saison/farmhouse ale. It ours a slightly cloudy golden yellow colour with lots of bubbly head that dissipates quickly leaving very little lacing. It almost appears champagne like. The aroma is fruity, pear and grape with some floral hops. The taste is made up of tropical fruits with hints of lemon and orange cloves and pepper and a hoppy background. The 20% of the brew is aged in wine barrels with orange peel which accounts for some of the champagne like tastes. Overall not the best saison that I have had, the wine barrel thing doesn't seem to help with the overall product. 3.2 out of

Day 309-Beer 309 Night Marzen Octoberfest Lager, Beau's All Natural Brewing Co. Vankleek Hill, Ontario

Another Beau's was hiding in the fridge, this one a Marzen or Oktoberfest Lager. It poured a copper colour with lots of head that settles to a thin  layer of foam. The aroma is has hints of caramel, bread malts and some grassy hops. The taste is much like the aroma caramel and toffee, bready malts with some grassy hops. Overall a good marzen 3.5 out of 5.

Day 308-Beer 308 Big Mouth Tap Room Pale Ale, Hop City Brewing Co. Brampton Ontario

This one is posted late as I was unable to log on last night. It poured a golden/orange colour with  white head that left some lacing. The aroma was citrus/orange and caramel. The flavour was quite unique, with some sweet fruit flavour, citrus and very floral hops with a nice dry finish. 3.4 out of 5

Day 307-Beer 307 Happy Pilsner Beau's All Natural Brewing Co. Vankleek Hill Ontario

The last of a variety four back from beau's, this one a Bohemian/German  style pils. It poured a cloudy golden yellow colour with lots of sudsy white head that settles to a thin layer of sticky foam across the surface. The aroma is mainly grainy malts, cereals, grass but nothing overpowering. The taste similar to it aroma and typical of the style, malt and bready notes with a mild grassy hops. Overall easy drinking with a nice dry finish 3.4 out of 5

Day 306-Beer 306 Zwickelbier, Beau's All Natural Brewing Co. Vankleek Hill Ontario

Zwickelbier is similar Kellerbier, They both are a very old style of brewing lagers dating back to the 1500's, they are unpasteurized and unfiltered and matured in open or unbunged kegs originally in deep vaults. The beers are naturally cloudy and yeasty, often with a high hop bitterness.
This one poured a murky amber orange colour with some off white head that left no lacing at all. The aroma has hints of bread yeast, sweet malts and some earthy hops. The flavour is fairly sweet up front with a fruity background and a mild hop finish that leaves a malt and yeast aftertaste on the lips. An okay brew certainly better than the Kellerbier I tried earlier in the year but still not great, 3.4 out of 5

Day 305-Beer305 Dark Helmut, Beau's All Natural Brewing Co. Vankleek Hill Ontario

This one is an Imperious Schwarzbier, I am not sure what the imperious means in terms of the brew but Schwarzbier in German means simply means black beer and this one is just that as it pours black in colour with tons of tan coloured head that lasts a long time but eventually settles to leaving some very sticky froth.   Aroma of chocolate and dark roasted coffee and roasted malts prevail. The taste is more like dark bakers chocolate and toffee with a hint of a creamy sweetness that settles on your palate with just a touch of bitterness in the background and a nice dry finish. Its 7.3%ABV but it is not noticeable in the taste. Overall a very good brew that goes does well and would make a great addition to your best gravy recipes. 3.7 out of 5

Day 304-Beer 304 Rauchstack, Beau's All Natural Brewing Co. Vankleek Hill, Ontario

Tonight's brew is a smoked dunkel. It pours like a dunkel, dark brown with a mahogany hue, some nice tan coloured head that leave some spotty lacing  with a small ring around the glass of sticky lacing.  Its aroma definitely has a smokey campfire background with hints of roasted malts and caramel. The taste is smoked malts with a sweet caramel and peppery background that leaves a sweet taste on the lips and a slightly bitter hop residual in the throat. Overall a good brew 3.6 out of 5
