88/1069) the Epic Lounge at the Fairmont Royal York Hotel, Toronto: 1929 Cream Ale by Double Trouble Brewing of Ontario *1/2; this was a bottled selection, brewed especially for the Royal York; the Royal York first opened its doors in 1929 and this commemorative beer is “crafted with ingredients and methods which hold true to the 20’s time period.”; earthy, sweet malty nose; hoppy flavours; the prices approach epic but they do offer a free bowl of mixed snack items;
89/1070) the Epic Lounge at the Fairmont Royal York Hotel: Royal York Stinger Honey Beer by Mill Street Brewery of Ontario: *1/2; brewed with honey from beehives on the rooftop garden and apiary at the Royal York; a golden ale; subtle honeyed nose; honey is most prominent at finish, otherwise it is subtle, mostly sweet maltiness;
90/1071) The 3 Brewers: The Blossom/La Floraison by The 3 Brewers of Ontario: *1/2; 4.6%; for me the hook was that the source of starch is Corn Flakes; brewed with Tettnang hops; there is a faint tangyness in common with all of The 3 Brewers' beers, perhaps it is the yest or maybe the malt; sweet and malty; the story is a bit better than the beer;;
