179/4406) C'est What:  Mocha Crunch Chocolate Bar Stout by Sawdust CIty of Ontario:  ****; 5.9%, 25 ibu Dessert Stout; “Built around the flavours of one of our favourite Canadian candy bars”; rich sweet mocha – so much like a Coffee Crisp; 

Today is C’est What's Fall Festival.  Everything is a four ounce pour.

180/4407) C'est What:  Extra Ball When Lit by Clifford Brewing of Ontario:  5.9%, 55 ibu; dry hopped with Galaxy; describerd as their Pinball Wizard, “given the hazy treatment”; fresh but mild citrus; 

I noticed a bartender paying close attention to the individual sitting next to me.  He was pouring bits of the samples into those tiny take away containers they use for sour cream and the like, which evidently is a no-no.

181/4408) C'est What:  Ma's Pumpkin Pie by Wave Maker of Ontario:  ***1/2; 5.2%;  brewed with pumpkin puree, nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon and ginger; nose and flavours of pumpkin and spices; 

Perhaps I am being harsh here.  This is a perfectly fine beer, it's just at this time if year it is against heavy competition.

182/4409) C'est What:  Every Six Minutes by Granite Brewery of Ontario:  ****1/2; 7.3%, 60 ibu; an English/North American Hybrid IPA; 10 hop additions during the boil; strong, bitter citrus, pine and grapefruit; 

This one was on cask.

183/4410) C'est What:  Deck Ade by Dominion City of Ontario:  ****; 6.5%, 30 ibu;  brewed for Dominion City's tenth anniversary; hopped with Freestyle Hops Nelson Sauvin™, Nelson Sauvin™ Cryo®, Kohia Nelson SubZero Hop Kief, Strata®, Mosaic®, Citra®.; I found it very herbal; 

184/4411) C'est What:  Bine Hunter 2024 by Bellwods Brewery of Ontario:  ****; 5.6% wet hop pale ale with whole cone Cascade fresh hop flowers; fresh grapefruit and herbal notes;
