Holy crapoly, Bellwoods "Fizzy Blaster" sure is tart!!
FIZZY BLASTER
BARREL AGED DOUBLE SOUR ALE w/APRICOT, PLUM & VANILLA
In the dead of an extraordinarily ominous winter last year, a vision came to us out of the darkness -- a pure beacon of light, in beer form. An effervescent, mind-bending, electric shock capable of resuscitating our frozen hearts, and crestfallen minds. Our task? Translate the profound intensity of a laser beam into a bottle of beer.
Introducing our newest beer series and antidote for the unknown: humans, meet Fizzy Blaster, a barrel aged, double sour, with apricot, plum, and vanilla. The acidity level is unsubtle, the fruit flavour is vivid, the experience is over-the-top. It’ll put a zing in your step! Electrify your tastebuds! Zip zap your palate!
ABV: 6%
What it smells like, what it tastes like: Bold acidity is met with intense flavours of apricot, baking spice, plum skin and cereal marshmallow. Dry finish, with tight carbonation and a touch of cedar.

Town puts out some very decent core brews, and does lots of experimental stuff as well.
Also check out Little Beasts just a few minutes away as well.
Erin the owner/head brewer is super cool and they do a lot of great beers too
Prince Eddy's - C.R.E.A.M. Ale
Great summer beer from Prince Edward County (the only thing I enjoyed at a hipster restaurant in Picton).

Rorschach Malevolent Benevolence (S'mores version).
- much better than the Churro version. Balanced chocolate and coffee notes and a hint of burnt marshmallow.
Rorschach Pomegranate Lager.
- much too sweet. Almost like they just added grenadine syrup into the kegs post brew.
Brock St Blueberry Wheat.
- not a fan. Odd flavors. The color though is incredible!

I’m a big fan of Dieu du Ciel and Trou du Diable
Stopped at Costco in Lévis. 18 mixed Unibrou bottles for $20.99. Insane. Just over a buck a bottle and the mix includes 4 different 8%s and above including one of my favourites that’s been hard to get of late on its own, Raftmans. Got some Alchemist Scottish Ale and a few others too. Lots of choice. Also bought 7 bottles of their (Costco) wine which is relabelled top shelf stuff that gets great reviews.

Last night shared a few with some friends...
Rorschach Malevolent Benevolence (Mint Choc version)
- a little too heavy on the mint for me, but otherwise a very nice stout. ...the S'mores vers. is still my favorite of the series.
5 Paddles Vulgar Artist Imp. Stout w/vanilla, maple, blueberry and lactose.
- really liked this one. It was very balanced with every one of the adjuncts identifiable, and one not overpowering the others.
Fairweather Modus Sour DIPA
- Incredible! Absolutely amazing!
Fairweather Donna Pils.
- clean and crisp. Nothing special about it.
Redline Air Ride APA
- decent. Nothing that set it apart from others.
Clifford Brewing Pinball Wizard APA.
- Meh...
Clifford Brewing Dark Streets of London ESB
- not a fan of this one, or this style of beer.

Love the Fairweather stuff.
I usually like “bitter” style English ales as they tend to be well balanced and not too hoppy. Not everyone does them well though, sometimes they get a bit sweet tasting.

Bump for summer beer love. This stuff is in high rotation for me right now. What an excellent hot summer day beer
. And I love its hard core pint glass in my collection
(thick heavy glass)... kept in the freezer
.
Hoegaarden wheat beer (it's known for notable clove flavors as well). On tap it's an even more impressive summer beer.

So nice with the heat I had it twice
Enjoy the weekend.
