112/1093) The 3 Brewers:  The American Red Cream Ale by The 3 Brewers of Ontario:  **;  5.8%, 50 ibu;  a re-tuned version of a couple year's ago;  brewed with American hops;  saturated with Nitrogen gas which gives a thick persistent head;  in many ways a standard 3 Brewers offering:  dark, sugary maltiness;  rich tasting deep amber with a dry finish;

113/1094) Home:  Framboise Boon by Brouwerij Boon of Belgium:  **;  a Lambaic ale flavoured with raspberries and sour cherries;  tart, sour nose with cherry notes;  tart flavours with cherry and raspberry notes;  now that Biermarkt (finally) has a beer list on their website it is worth noting that I paid $5.85 for this at the LCBO;  the Biermarkt  asks $23.48 for a 375ml bottle;  to be fair, there are a number of items that are unusually reasonable priced;

114/1095) Home:  Sargon by Beau's All Natural Brewing of Ontario:  **;  6%, 30 ibu;  a ginger beer aged in rum barrels;  brewed with organic ginger and organic cane sugar;  strong fresh gingery nose; gingery with a mild hop bite at the finish;  rum supplies a bit of sweetness;  dry after taste;
