Although this beer company is taking its cues from a couple of renowned U.S. craft brewers, 'Hoptical Illusion' is a breath of fresh air in the growing craft beer market in Ontario. This 'Almost Pale Ale' is crisp and hoppy, but well enough balanced so the hops do not over-power the beer (not that I mind when they do). For those who care, it clocks in at about 5%, so it's not going to kick your ass.
Formerly the Robert Simpson Brewing Company, the re-branded Flying Monkeys are in a good market position to do some local damage. I know my local LCBO has a good turnover rate of HI, so they are definitely gaining steam.
Jrazy strongly recommends this beer!
