287/2105) Home:  Idaho Beach House Session IPA by Merit Brewing of Ontario:  **1/2;  4.5%;  brewed with Idaho 7 hops;  nose is citrusy and tropical;  flavours are more towards earthy side of things with citrus emerging soon after and a bitter finish;  I am becoming very fond of this hop;

288/2106) Home:  360 Ale by Sleeping Giant Brewery of Ontario:  *1/2;  a 4.9%, 37 ibu pale ale;  an effort to merge the aroma of an English pale ale with the finish of a North American Pale Ale;  to my mind it lands more on English side;  rich malty English ale nose, mild hop bitterness with a dry finish;
