Hazy amber color. You get what the name says; once more I have to say that the Brainstorm is following the name in a surgical way; the aroma is characterized by the cardamom, the mouthfeel is lean and it has some creaminess together with the spices.
Fun.

Cloudy amber color with creamy head. A bit bready, smooth, but not much blueberry, and little character.

Hazy golden color with creamy head. Light minty aroma. Smooth mouthfeel, the flavor is mildly herbal and fruity, some rosemary; correct bitterness. Nice.

Cloudy pink-red color with generous pink head. Nice fresh raspberry aroma. Dry mouthfeel, highly carbonated; it has some raspberry flavor, and light acidity; it has too strong woody bitterness and astringency from the berries, rough tannins.

The aroma of lime is nice, but it adds a bitter, zesty, soapy component that is not very pleasant in the end.
It wouldn’t be a go-to-beer even in the summer, for me.

Hazy blond color with large head. The fennel seed works quite well, also because it seems moderately sweet, and it doesn’t cover completely the beer. In small quantity it’s pleasant.

The aroma is very sweet, the flavor seems to have less pineapple, off-dry, but the beer character is covered anyway.
Easy.

Cloudy blond color with generous persistent head. Nice aroma of candied, cooked pineapple. The flavor is rather dry with moderate pineapple presence; correct bitterness. Gentle approach, very nice.

Cloudy golden color with thick head. Nice hoppy aroma, partially fruity. The usual too, lean IPA, with resiny hops, strong bitterness, but with a spicy final: the juniper.
Very good, bold.

On tap at Storm, pours a dark amber with a medium tan head. Aroma brings out lots of fresh raspberries, some roast and subtle sourness. Flavour is very meaty, with raspberries, roasted malt and smoked meat. Very subtle tartness. What a strange beer. Surprisingly nice stuff.

On tap at Storm, pours a clear golden with a medium white head. Aroma is full of ginger and fresh orange peel. Flavour is sort of like 7Up, with notes of zesty orange and lime, with moderate ginger. Drinkable, but too reminiscent of the soda. Decent.
