211/4172) Home:  Velvet Bubble Lord by Flying Monkeys Craft Brewery of Ontario:  ***; 6%; Blueberry Sour; blueberry puree, citrus lemon verbena, natural blueberry flavour; translucent purple; blueberry nose; raspberry like tartness, blueberry with a lemony bite;

This was another mistake, the second in recent memory.  I was in haste, I knew I was looking for the new Flying Monkeys IPA, I saw the colourful tin, grabbed it and hurried to the counter.

212/4173) Home:  Psychedelic Puzzle Factory by Flying Monkeys Craft Brewery of Ontario:  ***1/2; 8.1%; billed as a “strong beer with natural flavours” and a Blueberry Custard DIPA; also brewed with oats, lactose, blueberry puree, raspberry puree, vanilla beans, natural vanilla, custard flavour and rosehip-hibiscus tea; amber; nose has berries but they are overshadowed by vanilla; much the same is going on with the flavours, save that there are more berry notes;

This is the one I meant to buy.
