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.

Poured from the tap @ Portland Craft. Cloudy yellow with small white head. Berry and troprical hop notes, a bit muddled, okay.

Can picked up from Beer Republic webshop Breda Netherlands had this sat outside on the balcony Wednesday 22nd May 2024 after a little bit of gardening and a shift for me at Grafenaur Tafel earlier. We've got a smoked sausage (we smoked some yesterday) and pasta made up meal tonight. Pours hazy gold with a large white head. Quite lemony with a thrusty bitterness, dry finish and yeah it's a typical West Coast. Getting a little grapefruit now and pine. Very good.

19oz can from Highpoint. Pours clear golden with large white head. Aroma is bright with notes of citrus and fresh grass. Flavour is dank and resinous; a touch of citrus. Moderately bitter and a bit oily in the mouth. Solid beer.

Can. A- Chai, fudge, booze. A- Black color, black liquid, minimal head. T- Chai, rye, clove, ginger, cardamom, chocolate, rich, mild booze. P- Full body, average texture, average carbonation, complex finish. O- 8 oz would be the right amount. A very rich beer. The booze helps cut it but there is a fairly strong sweetness and the rye and chai together add a lot of spice, almost too much. Still very tasty.

568ml can. Pours a slightly hazy orange gold with a medium, foamy, long lasting, white head that leaves soapy curtains of lace. Sweet fruity aroma of bready caramel malt, grapefruit, apricot, lemon, floral and spicy hops. Sweet fruity flavour of bready caramel malt, tangerine, apricot, pineapple, pine resin and spicy hops in a dry, bitter finish. Medium body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Well balanced and tasty.

OK, this is bullshit; try looking up dead head and there are 25 different kinds of destihl dead head versions in a series: WTF? Nose is pine tar piney. Pour is virtually clear pale, but not quite. Taste? Well let me warn you; I totally dislike IPA and I'm just ticking here, so the worse the rating the more 'dead' on style this dead head thang is. With no further ado, here ya go; it starts off acrid, unpalatable & distasteful Then the middle turns distressing, poignant, painful, biting, nipping, fierce, cruel, ruthless & relentless. Finally it finishes with a wide open wayward ending which is brutally acrimonious, caustic, biting, sardonic & bizarrely IPA scornful bastard. There, you have it, what else can be said about a terribly on style mouthcoating IPA? IPA lovers: Bucket List

(Can) Hazy golden colour with frothy, off-white head. Fruity nose with pineapple, passionfruit, mango, grapefruit and coconut. Fruity, tart taste with notes of pineapple, passionfruit, mango, coconut and grapefruit. No bitterness. Medium body, dry. Tasty and refreshing, with a good tropical fruit character. Nice one.
