251/4732) Great Lakes Brewery, Etobicoke:  Pelotari by Great Lakes Brewing of Ontario:  ****; 7.0%, 53 ibu American IPA brewed in collaboration with the Wooly pub (which I think I used to know as the Woolwich Arms) on their 35th anniversary; brewed with exclusively the traditional four ingredients;  pours clear; nose of candied orange peel and clementines; similar flavours with caramel note in the background;
 
Pelotari is Spanish for a ball player, particularly jai alai.

This beer is named for the Shag Harbour Incident of October 4, 1967, specifically the reported impact of a large object into the waters near Shag Harbour, a small fishing village.
