Phillips Amnesiac double IPA and Black Bear Ale from Kamloops Brewery.

 

The Amnesiac is a decent IPA. In flavour, it compares not-too-badly with HopHead from Tree Brewing. It's got a much bigger head, though, and a higher ABV (8.5%). I still prefer the HopHead for flavour (a more interesting selection of hops, I think) but the 8.5% is nice, too.

 

The Black Bear Ale is a departure from the IPAs I usually favour. It pours fairly dark and it tastes somewhat fruity. People who don't like strong-tasting bears like IPAs will probably like this one. At 5% and with a farily soft, pleasant flavour, it's sessionable.

Couldn't make out the name, daveyt. Which Unibroue offering is that?

i actually had the 16th anniversary which had an interesting aftertaste of french fucky-ass cheese in it.

Indian Rock IPA from the Cannery Brewing Company in Penticton, British Columbia. 6%, 650 ml bottle.

 

Nice colour. The hops blend gives it a grapefruit nose. The head dissipates quickly, leaving fine lacing. It's a little more fizzy than I like. The hops don't jump out at you on first tasting but they become more pronounced after a bit -- I like a hoppy aftertaste and this gives me that.

 

It's a nice IPA. Not quite up to HopHead in my estimation -- I'd like a litle more hop bitterness up front and less carbonation -- but it's better than many others I've tried.

Truly a kickass beer, both in taste and strength.

Indeed, outstanding stuff. Good choice.

Well. I rocked out pretty damn hard although probably still not as hard as Ron would have. biggrin.gif I was thinking about him the whole time. I thought the concert was great! Tony Iommi is still incredible.

 

Ron, I wish you could have been in that seat yourself buddy but I rocked out as hard as possible in your honor.

 

I never did meet Jim though.
