Steam Whistle 5%

This fine Canadian pilsner has a rich golden colour. Consulting their very complete website I learned that Pilsener is a type of lager named after the city of Pilzn in the Czech Republic where it was first made in the 19th century. The FAQ section and the Recipes are my favourite. Three guys who formerly worked in a microbrewery witch was bought out by a national brewer and closed down where on a canoe trip when they decided to create Steam Whistle. On every bottle or can we can see the indication 3FG for 3 fired guys.The taste of barley stands out in the aftertaste. A nice clean feel and deliciously refreshing aroma is what I bargained for. Light enough for anybody with its own little particularities. Accompanied by this homemade Manila Clam Chowder on a sunny autumn afternoon made it all even better.

2.80$ for a 500ml can in Ontario

9.1/10

Butternuts Beer & Ale

Butternuts has to my taste awesome marketing and a very nice website. Another plus is that the beers have an estimated nutritional value. 150 calories, 8 grams of carbohydrates, and 1 gram of protein. Very estimated because these 4 beers indicate the same information.

Moo Thunder 4.9%

One of the most watery stouts I have ever drank, this is no necessarily a bad thing. Like alot of stouts it is relatively light, the creaminess is almost absent. Very dark, sort of looks like coke or pepsi, it is also rare to find stouts in the 355ml can format around here. I taste hints of dark chocolate. Has some traits similar to Murphy's.

Snapperhead 6.8%

Snapperhead is an all malt bevrage, the label doesn't show a snapper and is kind of a knockoff of Landshark.Very perfumed smell, I detect a hint of pine. A kind of sappy taste is present. Not too cerealy but there is a hoppy bitterness. The colour is almost opaque, its actually kind of cloudy copper. In general I find it to be more neutral than other artisan beers.

Heinnieweisse 4.9%

The logo has something that looks like a hop head witch is very similar to an alien. Again all malt. Its a cloudy blonde, almost white, very European. It has a clean feel and the bitterness this time is well doused.

Porkslap 4.3%

This is their house brew, their trademark. Once again very perfumed and bitter, very minor hints of sweetness. I prefer it to Snapperhead but very similar except for the abv. Hard to detect the ginger. The cereal gets into your breath real fast. 

15.99$ for 12x355ml in New York, its one of the most expensive American beers but alot cheaper than the beer around here.
