All I get is hops. Not bad but that’s all I get.
Draft at Noon Whistle Lombard
This has a very nice make backbone to the IPA. I actually really like it.
Jet said this is exactly the same as the Gummysaurus. Because he is completely nuts.

This is like the Face Smack except they like added Hello Kitty flavor.
Draft at Noon Whistle Taproom
It’s fine at first then takes a hard left into muskiness. With all the negative connotations of that word these days.
Draft at Noon Whistle Taproom
This is really good. It's just sour, and the right type of sour, not game fruit. I don't even notice raspberry.
Draft at Noon Whistle Lombard
This is really good. There could be a little more hop juice in it, but niggling complaints.

This immediately evokes a memory of a different flavor that I can’t place right now but I’m going to call Sarsparilla inaccurately.
Draft at Noon Whistle Taproom
Fuschia is not a flavor that I’d have put in a beer, but it works surprisingly well! Could be the summery weather influence.

A pretty standard hazy IPA if you’re into that sort of thing
Draft at Noon Whistle Taproom
Thank goodness. Still like sour green fruit. Still good.
Draft at Noon Whistle Lombard
Smell is like old, dusty, rancid o dried oils. The taste is not much better.
Draft at Noon Whistle Lombard
Weird efforvescent spicy with a strange sour hint. I don't get it.
It might be thyme and oregano? It's weird.
Draft at Noon Whistle Lombard
This is so perfectly balanced. The sweetness from the bourbon and the sourness from… berliner… a power coupling
Draft at Noon Whistle Taproom
Spicy and floral, almost perfume-y. Which isn't a good thing for me, salt.
Draft at Noon Whistle L9mbard
It's not too bad. A slightly lighter, grassier character compared to the IPA I had immediately beforehand.
Bottle at Home
Well it’s s little bland to be honest… not pepperminty or chocolately enough
Draft at Two Brothers Taproom
It's meh. A little bitter on the first sip, like a pale. Thereafter it's more like a macro beer..
Can at Two Brothers Taphouse
I had this after the IPA and I think that was not good for this… the flavors all seemed dull.
Bottle at Matt’s House
Really good representation of the India Pale Ale. Floral. hoppy. bitter
Bottle at Matt’s House
Tastes like a shandy. Lite beer with fizzy lemonade. Not really my jam.
Draft at Galena Tap House
Strangely sugary and fruity. Kinda cotton candy-y. Not necessarily in a good way?
Draft at Galena Taphouse
Delicious. But yeah, sour fruit punch is a good description.

This was really good, slightly roasty, enough prickliness to overcome any typical nitro blandness, and the creamy head is hand-in-hand with the overall texture of the beer.

I don't have a strong memory of the old Elysian beer except that I didn't like it. Either this is a big improvement or I've matured in my taste. It's dry, it's resinous, but it's also lightly fruity and tastes sophisticated. Bitter, a little rooty.
Draft
Super mellow citrus IPA. Sweetish, opaque. No bitterness at all on the finish.
Draft
Sweet, boozy, fragrant with caramel and licorice and coffee. The sweetness is surprising here, and so is the cleanness of the finish.
Draft
Dry, slightly vinous, peppery. I really like this kind of saison, the only ding here is that I ordered the doppelbock.
Draft at Redmond's Bar and Grill, Redmond
Festive and molassessy, this reminds me both of chai and the old Sam Adams gingerbread stout. Cinnamon, cardamom, nothing too poky - easy drinking and tasty.
Draft at Redmond's Bar and Grill, Redmond
Absolutely could have been over the top but I think it actually evoked the flavor really nicely. Banana, chocolate, vanilla, booze.
Bottle
Way too sweet, not very coconutty either. It tastes a bit like marshmallow fluff, I guess, but really wanted some more backbone here.
Can
Tart, wonderful citrus punch flavor. Not too sweet, and not fake-tasting at all.

Might have been the aftereffects of the Vital Spark on my palate, but this was really astringent, herbaceous, medicinal.

Postdoc Vital Spark Peach (2025)
Extremely tart, peachy. Not very funky, more like a kettle sour. Had to take a break between sips.
