241/889) Beer Academy: Dunkel Weiss by Six Pints Specialty Beer Company: **; pours soft brown; notes of clove and banana; reminds me a lot of the Dunkel I used to get at the same location when it was Growlers; perhaps this is a bit richer;
242/890) Caffe Volo: All City by House Ales of Ontario: **; 4.5%; "Toronto People's Beer"; opaque; nose is fruity; crisp tasting with mild citrusy hops, a touch of ginger and a bit of malty sweetness to balance; a pleasant, flavourful session beer;
243/891) Caffe Volo: Pie-Eyed Pumpkin Ale by Nickel Brook of Ontario: *1/2; on cask; the mouth feel was a bit thin; surprisingly malty back-drop; muted spice nose, sweet muted pumpkin flavours; against such numerous and such fine competition I regret the low score;
The Beer Academy was holding a celebration marking the return of their Dunkel Weiss. While I was there I sampled some triple filtered brewer's water. Maybe it was in my mind but I found it particularly refreshing.
Yet again my notes comment on how very dark it gets inside the Volo. I must confess my goal was to have a glass of Black Katt Stout but I missed by a couple of hours.
