Rating: 4/5
Notes: A thick milkshake beer from Great Notion. Being lactose sensitive I try to impartially rate/review a milkshake beer but it’s tough when I know it could throw me for a loop. This one was sweet and hoppy with some guava but not overly fruity.

Rating: 4.75/5
Notes: This is top notch, as I expected. Perfect amount of sweetness, hops and tropical flavors. I’m not much for passion fruit so that’s why it doesn’t get the top rating but it’s still very enjoyable and drinkable. I could drink this beer all day and be happy.
Can art: Standard Tree House design.
Drinkage: Fresh. 9 days after can date.

Rating: 4.5/5
Notes: Solid beer from Gigantic again! They call this a crystalized hazy but I get the West coast IPA vibe from it a bit. No problem though as I don’t care what it’s called because it’s a great beer.
Bottle Art: Legit design.
Drinkage: No date on bottle.
