242/3959) Home:  Radar Love/Eyes In The Sky by Fairweather Brewing of Ontario:  ***1/2; 8%, 65 ibu Double IPA; brewed with wheat and hopped with Citra, Idaho 7 and Sabro; pours somewhere between cloudy and murky; mostly pineapple and pears to the nose; flavours of pears, coconut, peaches and mild pineapple – an odd combination; lack of oats creates an unexpectedly thin mouthfeel;

243/3960) Home:  Night Of The Living Gingerbread by Flying Monkeys Craft Brewery of Ontario:  ****1/2; 9%; Imperial Gingerbread Latte/Winter Spiced Ale; brewed with locally roasted coffee, lactose, allspice, cinnamon and nutmeg; pours a rich dark brown; nose of dark roasted coffee, ginger, spices; flavours of allspice, nutmeg and cinnamon relegate ginger to a supporting role but it is very much present against a backdrop of dark, dark roasted coffee; 

This is an update of Day Walker with maple syrup, much less sweet than the first version which I tried at the Volo.  I can manage a full pint of this one.
