Description
There's always something new to find. So let’s keep going. Let’s keep exploring. Let’s see what’s Around the Bend.

A production brewery located in Chicago, we believe in pushing the envelope - looking for what's next. Our canvas is your glass. You can expect interesting new flavor/style/technique mash-ups from us. But never just to be gimmicky. If there's not a clear reason to believe an adjunct or change in SOP will add something to the style we're brewing, we won't do it. But if there is…well, who knows what can happen. The possibilities really are endless. Time to get experimentin'. Let's all see what's Around the Bend!

Lot of haze in the golden pour. A thick white parfait head. At first I was smelling piney American hops, then some fruit, like strawberry, perhaps, and pineapple. Taste is not a major hop bomb, rather it's there but a bit subdued. More of a hit of lemonade, then the background of strawbeery, pine and resin. A lot of stuff going on with this.

16 oz can from Beerbox. Pours hazy golden with a one finger off-white head with decent retention. Not much aroma to speak of, but I get a faint bready note. Taste is sweet and lightly bitter with fruity flavors—coconut, overripe orange, papaya. Soft creamy mouthfeel.

Hazy murky yellow color and small white head. Overriped tropical fruits in the nose. Light-bodied to medium-bodied. Pineapple, some dry notes. Neh.
