386/2204) Home:  Bear Hug IPA by Market Brewing Co. of Ontario:  **1/2;  7%, 55 ibu;  murky;  bold nose of pineapple, tangerine, pine;  citrus forward flavours with a dry after taste;  a superlative IPA;

Both of these IPAs were difficult to find.  The cashier at the LCBO in Toronto's First Canadian Place said Bear Hug was his favourite IPA.

387/2205) Home:  Ditto Doppel Bock by Wold Top Brewery of England:  **;  7%;  boozy nose with dark fruit;  dark fruit, raisins, hint of alcohol;

This is another brewery I was first introduced to by last year's Advent Calendar.
