361)  Home:  1715 by Lvivska Brewery of the Ukraine:  *1/2;  a typical East-central European lager;  the nose is grassy, grainy;  taste is malty with a slight hint of ginger;  the significance of the name is that 1715 was the year Lvivske began brewing;

362)  Home:  Franconian Bock by Mill Street Brewery of Ontario:  **1/2;  the nose is sweet dried fruit with notes of fruit and caramel in the taste;  very nice - darker than the Bock I had last month at the Mill Street Brewpub;  of the two, I think I prefer this one;
