122/1707) Home:  10 Megaton Tsarina Bomb IPA by Bandit Brewery of Ontario:  **1/2;  7.5%;  Tsar Bomba (or Big Ivan) is a 50 to 57, depending who you read, megaton device;  very much a hop bomb;  strong earthy resiny nose;  dry earthy hop flavours;

I purchased these at the brewery on the night of the Canadian premiere of Jaco:  The Film, an excellent documentary on the life of the extraordinary bass player Jaco Pastorius.  The interview with Bootsie Collins was worth the price of admission on its own.  He is in the trailer - at the very least view this:  Jaco: The Film.

Bandit is near the Revue Cinema, just off Roncesvales.  Clearly the neighbourhood was crying out for this.  It was the opening night of their patio and retail outlet and the place was packed.
