Notes: Wonderfully tasty beer here. Not overly sweet or tropical which is a nice. I get notes of pineapple in there but not strongly. I’d certainly drink another one of these.

Rating: 3.75/5
Notes: This is a different one. First sip had me questioning this beer but it grew on me. The strong pistachio and lactose taste is certainly sweet. It’s certainly unique and I’m glad I got to try it.
Can Art: I’m digging the design. Abstract and very cool.
Straight up thanks to @brewsandbulldogs for the trade. Thanks!

Rating: 4.25/5
Notes: A good beer with notes of pineapple. Not too sweet and very drinkable. I got the chance to drink two of these in different scenarios. One at home, just chilling out, and one when I was playing a game of disc golf. In both situations this was a great go to beer. Not to sweet which made it easy to drink out and about while also not being too much at home.
Can Art: Simple and classy as I would expect in the losers club.

Rating: 5/5
Notes: Wow! This might be a game changer for me. Anyone that knows me knows that in the 20+ years I’ve been drinking, almost excursively beer, I’ve not been into stouts (or porters) at all. Just not my style. This is the first stout mix I’ve ever had which I truly enjoy. Cheers to @greatnotionpdx for keeping it top notch. I tried the 3:1 ratio as well as a 1:1 ration and I enjoyed the 1:1 better but that’s probably because the #blueberrymuffins cuts the stout.
Can Art: Always a cool block print design. The peanut brother is a reuse but still legit.

Rating: 4.25/5
Notes: A hopy pilsner with a very obvious wet hop flavor. Some bitterness but not too bad or too strong. I really enjoyed it. I’d recommend it for someone that wants to like
hops but isn’t there yet for hopy beers.
Can art: Cool hop logo. Good design and nice frosted silver can.
