16oz can. Vanilla dominates everything. Very artificial confectionary tone. Pineapple is there, but doesn't shine. Background hazy IPA is more or less irrelevant. Unique, fun to try, but lacks balance, finesse.

16oz can. Cringe-worthy stuff. Huge blood orange taste, but really a bland cheap frozen can of orange juice concentrate feel. Sweet and creamy body. Citra in the background. Not my thing.

16oz can. Fully insipid fruit beer. Lots of puree I suppose, but lifeless, lack balance, depth. All in all something I don't want to drink am embarrassed that it is even acceptable to make this crap.

16oz can. Overboard sweet. The bourbon barrel comes through in the aroma rather boldly. Maple syrup and vanilla go in the opposite direction of balance, just maximizing sweetness. Tasty, but syrupy, not that impressive.

16oz can. While I don't like Citra mixed in other IPAs, I still like a single hop Citra beer. Right next door to Sabro sort of, some coconut tone. This is pretty respectable haze. Pillowy and sweet body, but a big hop tone to balance it out somewhat. Good.

16oz can. Thick purple-red body...at least after you get the thick bottom part in. Big flavor in a way, but it's all soft and artificialish. No real sourness. No real character despite clearly adding a shit ton of puree or whatever to it. More fruit juice tone than beer. Is what it is for 2024.

16oz can. Stylistically vague, sort of a light Vienna. Easy drinking, smooth toasty malts. OK.

16oz can. Sort of amateur hour haze. Big hop tone, a little earthy, vegetal. I'd call it a big, juicy IPA I suppose. A little bit choresome to drink at. Sweet, sugary. Not that good.

Keg at the brewery, 9/10/22. Lake Villa location. NEW BREWERY! Brewery #2087, USA #1688, Illinois #70. Didn’t tick the place because it was the middle of the Lake Villa Fall Fest and the place was packed with revelers. Hazy orange, medium tan head, good retention. Aroma of stone fruit, caramel. Taste matches with some phenols. Okay.

Tap at the brewery. Full bodied, rich, good. Almost has some fudgy brown ale notes. Good.
