A craft brewer in Nobleton, Ont., Barn Door honours the harvest-festival beer-making tradition with a gem of a lager. Substantial, at 6.5-per-cent alcohol, it's golden amber in colour, with a voluptuously rounded, velvety texture. Though malt-forward, it's refreshingly crisp and dry, with notes of banana and other ripe fruits mingling with caramel and grain.
