Rating: 4/5
Notes: This beer is my first Kettlehead beer. I specifically sought it out as a buddy from high school helped start it. This beer was a good first showing. It has many tropical flavors and I think I’m picking up in guava the most. Little bit sweet and hoppy.
Can art: Cool design and label.
Drinkage: No date on can but I believe this was fresh ———————————–———————————–

Rating: 4.5/5
Notes: This is a straight up Belgian helles lager. Very refreshing and easy drinking right here. Malty, light, flavorful and very enjoyable. I wasn’t sure of this one at the store as it was only $1.50 but price ≠ quality. Great beer.
Can Art: That gold mountain on the white can. Sweet.

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.
