Description
At DESTIHL, we brew more styles of beer because we have a passion for brewing & because you have a passion for unique, craft beers. Cheers!

DESTIHL was founded on the promise of supporting flavor and boycotting bland. We're an independent, production brewery that was established in 2013 in Bloomington-Normal, Illinois to brew beyond the confines of typical beers. Our team combines centuries-old global brewing traditions and new American craft brewing ingenuity & artisanship to produce a wide array of beers for every palate. We brew more styles of beer because we have a passion for brewing and because you have a passion for unique, craft beers. The result is a diverse offering of intensely flavorful beers that are anything but bland, from our award-winning WiLD SOUR Series, barrel-aged Saint Dekkera® Reserve Sour Ales and Dosvidanya® Russian Imperial Stout, to our many Belgian-style beers, IPA's, other wood-aged beers, classic styles and exciting seasonals. DESTIHL has become a brand, but we have not strayed from our roots. We take pride in our values and will continue to grow and support our local community. We promise to deliver on these uncompromising beliefs. Every beer we brew is unique. So, whether you share it or hoard it, we hope you enjoy it. After all, you deserve it.

Growler thanks to Sarah/Adam! Poured near clear amber with an off-white head that lasted throughout the beer. Aroma had a nice sour raspberry note that was backed by a sweet wheat note. Flavor had more sweet wheat and the sour raspberries that grew through the finish but never got too intense.

Big thanks to pantanap and gunhaver, cheers! This growler pours dark murky brown with thin mocha head. The aroma is sour as expected and surrounded by thin layers of chocolate and dark roasted malts. The taste is similar starting with dark roasted malts, some chocolate and then giving way to growing sourness. It ends dry with lingering and then fading sour mash notes.

Aroma was extremely pine filled but still a bit of caramel and a hint of light fruit. Flavor was similar with extreme pine bitterness but mellows with a bit of caramel and fruit in the finish.
