April 13, 2014

75/1056) Home:  Spring Bock by Amsterdam Brewery of Ontario:  **1/2;  7.3%;  a new recipe for 2014;  aged 6 weeks;   sweet nose with sharp hint of grain and alcohol; rich tasting with caramel sweetness;  not quite up to the level of a nostalgia enhanced Growlers bock;

76/1057) Home: Worthington's White Shield by The National Brewing Centre of England:  *;  5.6%;  product of UK, yet the trademark is used under license by Six Pints of Victoria Street, Toronto;  lael reads, "closer to cask" and, what's more,  CAMRA says this is "real ale";  bitter, one dimensional Euro-hops scuttle this one;  there is a reasonable beer lurking behind the saaz - at first I thought it was spoiled;
