Hazy medium brown pour, small beige head. Faint aroma of strawberry, but itβs real and not fake. Slight roasted wheat aroma, with a light tang, and tartness. The finish is slightly sweet, and a touch tart. The strawberries are obviously real, and not artificial flavoring. Refreshing and a solid beer.

Hazy golden pour, small off white head. Nice cereal aroma, good malts, solid grassy hops. Great cereal malty finish, great grassy, hoppy, bitterness. Exceptional mild.

16 oz. can, pours a cloudy yellowish blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out plenty of habanero, some piney hops, and biscuity malt. Flavour is full of habanero character without the spice, with some piney hops, and crisp biscuity malt. I want more habanero -- both the spice and flavour -- and also more hoppy bitterness. Decent but underwhelming.

Poured from 473mL can (pkg 06/Oct/2022). Slightly hazy blonde gold with small white head. Where's the hops, and the habanero? Muted in both respects. Disappointing. Too safe.

Hazy, pale, some chile, brings warmth, ok pale malt base. So the chile's a bit timid, but the IPA has a slightly gloppy base and a bit of bitterness, but it's not the greatest IPA.

Black, with a thin head. Roasty malts and leafy hops on the nose. Medium body, some roasted malt acidity that sort of thins it out a bit. The sugars aren't bad, but maybe more would be better. The roast and hop bitterness is abundant, and it has an off-dry finish. Pretty good stout; seems inspired by what St. Ambroise used to be.

Can from a Nita IPA-pack with other locals. Pours a slight hazed, light-yellow colour with a big frothy white cap. good retention and some patchy foam lacing. Citrus aromas with very mild grass, and some interesting berry-fruity notes. The taste is mild as an APA should be, with the same found in the nose and what seems to be... gooseberries :P

A hazed blonde ale with a thin lacing white head. In aroma, nice biscuit malt with resinous hops, very nice and smooth. In mouth, biscuit malt with grassy herbal hops, light mineral notes, so-so. On tap at Crazy Hazy event, kichesippi Brewing.

Dark brown. Thin head. The aroma is a bit on the candyish side, and the palate bears that out. Sweet, but thin and huge on the vanilla. This needs more residual sugar and way more bitterness to make sense of it...the lack of richness...it's like eating reduced fat cheese or sugar free, well, anything. A bit of roast to it, but again, that's something that likes sugar and hops to back it up. A 10% BA Impy with vanilla is a go big or go home beer. It's not bad, as such, but I am disappointed.

Well, it froths up a ton, then down. Clearly as much solid as liquid in here. Greyish pink sort of colour, I guess like a raspberry smoothie would be. The aroma is mostly lots of raspberries. On the palate, it's tart, fizzy and very thick was fruit. All raspberry and tart on the palate, certainly no beer character. So typical smoothie beer.
