299/2117) Home:  Brother Ian's Belgian 4 by 5 Paddles Brewing of Ontario:  *1/2;  4.5%;  added candi sugar;  unpasteurized, unfiltered;  there is sediment at the bottom of the bottle;  a Patersbier or, as they describe it, "the lawn-mower beers of the monks";  pours hazy gold;  yeasty nose;  mild spice with candi sugar;

This and the other bottle pictured below were purchased by a fellow named Raf in his travels from the brewery in Whitby.

I tried the Italian Backyard at C'est What a while back.  The bottle is big enough that I can pour a glass and still have enough to experiment with while baking.  I have a feeling the basil would add a little something to a beer bread recipe I ran across.

300/2118) Home:  Pale Ale Project by Beyond The Pale Brewery of Ontario:  **1/2;  4.9%, 28 ibu;  brewed with barley and wheat;  nose is tropical fruit, citrus and  peach;  juicy tropical flavours - a great IPA;
