102/4329) Home:  Pumpkin Ale by The Exchange Brewery of Ontario:  **; 6.1%, 23 ibu; “lightly spiced and brewed with load of pumpkin”; aged in oak and with house Belgian yeast; unpasteurized; Perle and Styrian Celeia hops; tart, from the oak?; more like a sour with fruit, hints of pumpkin;

103/4330) Home:  Desperate Measures by Fairweather Brewing of Ontario:  ***1/2; 6.6% “Dessert Beer”; brewed with bananas, lactose, vanilla and cinnamon; hazy yellow; nose like banana cream pie with a hint of earthy cinnamon; sweet banana cream pie flavours; an unusual beer; I’m not sure I could drink more than the one;

I cannot stop myself from thinking about a similarly named, Vaudeville inspired new wave band from decades ago.
