Brewery: Double Mountain Brewing – Hood River, OR
Brewery IG: @doublemountain
———————————–
Rating: 4/5
Notes: There’s too many April fool’s jokes today to add to the masses so I’m keeping it real today….
Certainly a West Coast IPA even though the pic seems a bit hazy. It’s bright with lime and grapefruit flavors. Can’t believe this is the first Double Mountain beer I’ve reviewed as I’ve drank hundreds of their beers. Cheers to many more.
Bottle art: Cool retro and throwback look.
Drinkage: 14 days after date on bottle

Brewery IG: 450 North Brewing Company – Columbus, IN
———————————–
Rating: 4.25/5

Brewery: Smartmouth Brewing Co. – Norfolk, VA
Brewery IG: @smartmouthbeer
———————————–
Rating: 3.75/5
Notes: Not bad for all the hype but not crazy either. The marshmallow flavor is there but it’s a bit funky. Tastes a bit like milk sugar but with some bitterness. I’m not sure if marshmallow and hops really jive together that much. It would be better as a sour or Berliner Weiss.
Can art: Can’t go wrong with the nostalgic rainbows and lucky charms. Magically ridiculous!
Drinkage: 14 days from date on can
