29/1847) The 3 Brewers, Heartland:  Level 20 Ogre Mage by The 3 Brewers of Ontario:  **; billed as a sour IPA;  it is their IPA with lactic acid, Nelson Sauvin hops, Chardonnay soaked oak chips, and honey;  nose is strongly California Sauvignon;  tastes at first of oaky wine flavours followed by a dry, bitter after taste;  I was not expecting to like this but save for that aftertaste it is a winner;

30/1848) Home:  Bavarian Winter by Camba Bavaris of Germany:  **1/2;   5.8%;  styles itself an IPA;  floral green tea nose;  musty green tea flavours;
