264/2864) Home:  Perth County Conspiracy North American Pale Ale by Herald Haus Brewing Co. of Ontario:  **; 5%;  the nose is grainy with light fruit notes; citrus, melon, grain flavours

The Perth County Conspiracy was a Canadian folk-rock band, active from mid-1960s to the late 1970s.  I like to imagine that they played at the Colonial Hotel in Grand Bend.  I gather it is not a great place and it likely wasn't then either but I liked to eat there when I was very young.
