Brewery: Great Notion – Portland, OR
Brewery IG: @greatnotionpdx
———————————–
Rating: 4/5
Notes: Very smooth and refreshing hazy IPA. The blueberry is very flavorful and strong which is great. Not overly sweet but a bit in there. The vanilla finishes off the taste very well. Only reason it doesn’t get a higher rating is because I’m 50/50 on vanilla personally. If you like or love vanilla then you’ll love this.
Can Art: Standard can.
Drinkage: 1 day after can release. 6 days after date on can.

Rating: 4.25/5
Notes: Great collab from two solid breweries. This one has a bit of a floral taste to it but still very hoppy, smooth, and crushable. Plenty of stone fruit tropical flavors but there’s something extra in there adding in some unique taste.
Can Art: Haha. Nice design. Looking good.
Drinkage: Date of can release. 3 days after date on can.
