PARADISE LOST: WHITE LIES ~ BLOOD BROTHERS

6% from Toronto, Ontario

White Lies is one in the Paradise Lost series. It is a golden ale brewed with Sauvignon Blanc grapes and dry hopped with Nelson Sauvin. Sampled on draught the beer poured a fairly clear golden straw colour with a small foamy white head. The nose had a sour quality with, vines notes, fruit, lemony citrus and light grains. The tart flavour, also had some white wine like qualities, with a touch of lemon, and a little cereal graininess. The carbonation was moderate and the body of the brew was almost medium and the finish was dry and tart. Quite refreshing and easy to drink.

PARADISE LOST: RAZZLE DAZZLE ~ BLOOD BROTHERS BREWING 

6% from Toronto, Ontario

Well this one was trip! Razzle Dazzle is one in the “Paradise Lost” series, and it a sour ale brewed with raspberry and vanilla. Sampled on draught it pours an incredible colour of bright intense pink. The nose is really sweet, with vanilla and berries reminding me of cream soda. I think this beer tastes like cream soda with a little extra added sourness. Lots of vanilla and berries gives it a cream soda - jam - Jolly Rancher flavour. I enjoyed one but by the end it was getting cloying. A unique brew.
