Mat K.: Laser Show is still a tad better because it's sweeter.
Mat K. is drinking a Greenwood by Left Field Brewery at Bar Hop Brewco
Hazy grapefruit juice, very fizzy on the tongue, damn good.

Mat K.: Did not get better as it warmed. Needs more tropical murk and pulp, aftertaste a tad bitter.
Mat K. is drinking a Monogamy (Citra) by Bellwoods Brewery at Wise Bar
Marvelously delicate fructose sweetness with a juice-bursting body. Excellent embodiment of the Citra Platonic ideal.

Mat K.: Marvel 2099 were some dang good comics, especially Ghost Rider 2099, which was cyberpunk incarnate.
Mat K. is drinking a Strawberry Milkshark by Bellwoods Brewery at Wise Bar
A very balanced fruitiness, great thick-ass body, excellent mild sweetness. Can't taste any milk in it though, which is fine by me.
Mat K. is drinking a Pink Guava Jelly King by Bellwoods Brewery at Wise Bar
Too astringent for me, needs more sweetness. Crazy jam-packed millennial crowd here with the occasional linux programmer thrown in.

Mat K.: I'd forgotten just how good Bellwoods beers can be.
Mat K. is drinking a Milk Stout by County Durham Brewing at Wenona Lodge
Sweet, malty, creamy. Pretty good on nitro, but still has a thin body.

Mat K. is drinking a Session IPA by Innis & Gunn at The Osprey Eyrie
Well that's a very... Scottish IPA. Light pineapple flavour, delicate crystal hops, clear body, the very opposite of American IPAs.

Mat K. is drinking a Hops & Robbers by Double Trouble Brewing at Jiffy Lube Toronto (Dundas St.)
My checkins for this beer are like a graph of how my palate has changed over the last 5 years.

Mat K. is drinking an Octoberfest Marzen by Sawdust City Brewing Co. at Bar Hop
Pretty basic grainy marzen, little sweetness.

Mat K. is drinking a Sucker Punch by Tooth And Nail Brewing Company at Bar Hop
More of a honeyed PA with extra alcohol than a DIPA. Clean, crisp mouthfeel. Overrated.

Mat K. is drinking an Upper Limits by Rouge River Brewing Company at Bar Hop
Super-fruity, quite sweet, maybe a bit too much but otherwise excellent. Ripe peach aftertaste.
Mat K. is drinking a WILD NORTH: Pumpkin Ale by Lake of Bays Brewing Company
By the Great Pumpkin, it's that season again...my wife likes this much more than I do. Beer is mostly mild yam flavours, very littlw spice.
Mat K. is drinking a Control Bored by Half Hours on Earth
I'm supposed to be doing yardwork but I'd rather have another beer and enjoy the sun. This beer smells better than it tastes.

Mat K. is drinking a Saint Of Circumstance by Collective Arts Brewing
The white bird on the can is as smug as I am enjoying the last days of summer lingering like the rich, oily hibiscus flavour of these hops.

Mat K.: I'm enjoying this far more than I did 3 years ago. I guess the recipe's improved.
Whoa, lots of soy, cocoa, cherry and a huge thick fudge body. God, I love this beer. Good thing it's only wine glass or I'd be on the floor
