80/1061) Home:  Grendel's Revenge Old Ale by Indie Ale House of Ontario:  *1/2;  8%; tart, citrusy nose;  very tart, funky (as the young beer geeks like to say) with what I am tempted to describe as a note of delightfully cheap red wine to the nose;  there is a sweetness just before the finish which is very dry indeed;  purchased at the Indie Ale House;  aged in port and Madeira barrels;

81/1062)  Lion Brewery restaurant at Heuther's Hotel:  IPA by Lion Brewery of Ontario:  *1/2;   I found this to be very malty for an IPA;  sweet gingery notes with a very dry hoppy finish;
