120/1101) Caffe Volo: Citra IPA by Shacklands of Ontario: **; a 5.7% American IPA; piney, resiny, earthy nose; dry bitter astringent flavours;
121/1102) Caffe Volo: East Side IPA by House Ales of Ontario: *1/2; a 6.5% American IPA; prominent sweet maltiness; of the two, I prefer their West Side IPA; sugary sweetness with a very mild hop presence and a sweet candi sugar finish;
122/1103) Caffe Volo: Dubbel by Oast House Brewers of Ontario: **1/2; a 7% Belgian Dubbel; the nose is dark, slightly burnt sugar; this sweetness returns in the finish and the after taste but first yeasty carbonated mild tartness intervenes;
123/1104) Caffe Volo: Gucci Brown by House Ales of Ontario: **1/2; very rich, sweet brown sugar nose; sweet dark sugary notes;
I had intended to visit C'est What where they were holding their Festival of Small Brewers but by the time I got there people were lined up outside as far as Church Street. I did meet my acquaintance Andrew who was lucky enough to have been there earlier but he was unimpressed at the prospect of paying $12 after taxes and tip for a pint of Princess Wears Peach Pants.
