Description
Great Notion Brewing is a project started by three friends; Andy Miller, James Dugan, and Paul Reiter. All three guys met each other out of coincidence, they live on the same street in North Portland. Andy and James met each other while home brewing in 2010, and began developing recipes and building a friendship. Together they have 25 years of brewing experience with medals in the National Homebrew Competition for fruit lambic and Double IPA. Paul Reiter has a degree in business and finance with a focus on start-ups and creative enterprise . In April of 2014, the boys finally got together and shared some home brew. On this night they enjoyed a Stout with hand smoked Vienna malt, a 3 year old Peach Sour, and a 10% double IPA. It’s fair to say, on this night, Great Notion Brewing was born.

Crowler thanks to Toby, you rock man! Pours a super cloudy yellow color, looks like orange juice, a small white head. A big citrus and peach nose. The flavor is soft peaches, perfume, quite a mix here. The concoction is quite unlike any other fruited IPA, the peaches are just so huge. Apricot is much lighter. Very smooth, no alcohol at all. Brilliant.

On tap at The Loyal Legion, pours a cloudy golden orange with abysmal white head. Aroma brings out tropical fruits, loads of juiciness and biscuity malt. Flavour is along the same lines, with lots of melons, fruity hops and dry biscuity malt. Very dry and fruity. Nicely constructed and well-balanced. Good stuff.

Flavour is fairly bitter, with loads of resinous hood upfront, with a little pine and dry biscuity malt. Complex and well-balanced, with a dry finish. Excellent.
