Draft pour pint at Cloudburst. Bright, almost glowing in the dimly lit room. Cream foam head. Fresh orange fruit aroma. Fresh is the key word with this beer. Seems super fresh on all angles. Cool flavor, orange fruit, minty orange finish, with a flavorful hop bitterness to complete. An oat like late palate. A super easy drinking, refreshing, tasty pale here. Very nicely done.

Draft pour pint at, as far as I know, the only place to find this mysterious beer. I’m not surprised, these guys must be brewing 24 hours a day. Keep it up! This is fantastic. Thick appearance, light in color orange pour. Creamy body, with a peach, juicy fruit constant, some oat, and top of the line hop profile. Fruity without being sweet. Hoppy without being bitter. Good without being bad. Haha. Wish I could find more about this beer. All I know is that its amazing.

Introducing Cloudburst brewing’s "one and you’re feeling good" beer. Quickly proving that these guys know a thing or two about brewing a beer. Especially the hop heavy beers, and considering the limited supply of beers that font fit that category, I can honestly say these guys could brew anything and make it good. Draft pour pint at Cloudburst. A shiny golden pour, very clean and clear appearance. All kinds of grapefruit aroma and flavor surround this, and provide a solid foundation. Drinks like a gentle IPA, feels like a gentle IPA all around, but it will hit you like a big ol imperial in short due time. I feel like the Cloudburst resume gets stronger with each offering. I feel like I say it every time, but I cant lie. No exception here. This was incredible.

Draft pour at Cloudburst. My 8th try at this series, keeping my hitting streak alive! If they reach 57, then I will take over the record! I love raspberry so this was a for sure lock. Eh. Upsets happen. Golden orange pour with a halo foam head. Raspberry and floral constant aroma, as expected. Flavor is raspberry dominated throughout, floral. Very true to what they were going for. Has an overwhelming cooling sensation at the finish. This is raspberry mouthwash as an afterthought. Strange, and uninspiring. I still believe in this series, bit I also believe in mulligans.

Draft pour pint at Cloudburst. Pale golden orange pour with a lasting foam head. Aroma is consistent with a vegetal hop. Flavor is similar. This beer is good for the most part, nut I’m forced to compare it to the gold they have struck in the recent past. Juicy hops, fruity, creamy, but still a bit vegetal. Drinks nice as an overall. A really solid beer that they have found a way to force me to complain about, but its still really good. Pretty good fresh hop here. UPDATE: glad they brought this back a year later. I feel like it was a little less than what it should have been last year. A fresh hop from Cloudburst, how can it possibly go wrong? Not a whole lot to add to the previous notes. Liquid hops here.

This is Cloudburst’s bread and butter. This is what they do. A beer like this is the face of everything that is great about fresh hop beers. About hop beersbin general. Just about everything that can go right, went right here. Cloudy golden orange pour with an adequate foam head. A multi layered piney complimented grapefruit aroma. Juicy flavor, hop centered with an extremely attractive profile. Grapefruit juicy linger with a gentle, refreshing finish. I need a lot more of this beer. A lot more. Sooooooo so good. UPDATE: got a lot more. Want to see a magic trick? Put a pint of this beer in front of me, and I’ll make it disappear.

Draft 10 oz pour at Cloudburst. Slightly oily golden pour with a patchy fizz head. Straw like grain aroma with an obvious, yet unique hop profile. Flavor is a blend of bitter hops and dusty grains. Late bitter finish. Like a tea bitter. Orange fruit subtle, and a slight cornish grain. Overall a fun try, but less of a memorable experience next to their headliners.

Draft pour pint at Cloudburst. A juicy sounding IPA that has aboutna zero percent chance of being no good. Cloudy golden yellow pour with a splashing foam head. Fruity hop dominated aroma. Flavor really does have that juicy fruit gum appeal to it. The late palate is ahead exact match. Totally beat me to the idea. I always thought a Wrigley collaborated beer would be awesome. Some additional melon like hops. Overall a very enjoyable IPA. I had no idea these guys even did an IPA! Solid addition to the lineup. What’s next?

Draft pour pint at Cloudburst. Thanks Watson! Fun beer here. Pours a hazy orange with a lasting fizz head. Loved the Lousy Pictures, being the base here. Wolf Parade with berries. Too many berries though if I have a say. Comes of as overpowering, where a subtle impression would have fallen under the "less is more" category. Mixed berry potent aroma from a good distance away. Soft floral. Blackcurrant reminder too. Hop bitter finish. This is a brilliant idea. I never really thought about an imperial IPA blended with a fruity saison. I feel like this was close to being great, but again, I feel the balance is off. All that being said, this was still refreshing, and lasted about as long as waiting in line for another beer did.

Draft pour pint at Cloudburst. Shiny golden pour with a lasting consistentcream foam head. Tropical fruit dominated hop aroma. Flavor has an orange to it. Like a pulp without the extreme texture. Just with flavor. Oat grains. Super creamy orangcicle. Lingering cream and tropical fruit hops. Unique for a Cloudburst IPA. Well executed, tasty beer.
