I had one of the above described Voodoo Donuts a couple of weeks ago while in Portland. It was pretty tasty - paired with coffee. Considered buying a bomber of the beer but passed.

Unfortunately, I meant the 7-2 Northwestern.

You missed a loss there somewhere Lentini.

Good decision to pass on the beer as VM is right. Disgusting doesn't even begin to cover it.

It's a beer you share a bottle of with 3-4 people. At that amount it is great (IMHO) but unpalatable at anything close to a full bottle or more.

In Canada? Really? Duties in?

From a 22. Blech - not good. Too over-the-top and, for an IIPA, way too yeasty and malty. Why they spell it like that is a mystery to me...one that I could likely answer with some reasearch, but won't.

Cheers!

Steam Whistle Pilsner, brewed in Toronto.

First time for me and I like it. Surprisingly full and creamy in the mouth.

EB, I might be in the city next Saturday with another forum member who has to make a Flickinger pickup. Any chance you would be interested in meeting for a beer or two at Goose Island or the Map Room? Wine Sparty, you too in case you see this. We are thinking of making it something of a beer day. While picking up wine.

Love this ale. Plenty of hops but not a one trick pony. Very nuanced yet powerful at the same time. Great session beer.....

That would be cool- I should be around. Let's touch base during the week and see if we can work something out. I can walk to Map Room so a slight preference there.

Lake of Bays - Rousse (Ontario)

Very similar to Boreales Rousse (Quebec), which I don't believe is available in Ontario. Either way, both are very good. Full flavoured and a little hoppy, but not bitter.
