138/1119) Monk's Kettle. Etobicoke:  Genius of Suburbia by Flying Monkeys of Ontario:  **;  a 3.8% session IPA;  fresh grapefruit nose;  pleasant hop flavours

139/1120) Monk's Kettle, Etobicoke:  Equilibrium ESB by Nickel Brook of Ontario:  **; this was on cask, in fact, mine was the first glass poured from said cask;  low carbonation as might be expected;  rich malty nose;  very much an English bitter;  very fresh tasting and malty;

140/1121) Monk's Kettle, Etobicoke:  RPA by Junction Craft Brewing of Ontario:  *1/2;  5.3%  it's OK as RPAs go;  rye nose;  sharp rye flavours;

141/1122) Caffe Volo:  Zinnebir by Brasserie de la Senne of Belgium:  *1/2;  5.8% (Brussells People Beer);  cloudy;  grassy nose;  sweet opening with a very bitter finish;  mostly grainy, musty;  this was a bit of a disappointment given the build up it had received;
