On tap at No Anchor, pours a cloudy golden orange with a medium white head. Aroma brings out lovely dank hops, tropical fruits, and just enough toasted biscuity malt. Flavour is impeccably balanced, with loads of piney hops and juicy tropical fruits. Aggressive in flavour despite being massively drinkable. Creamy palate with wonderful depth. Excellent.

Draft 10 oz pour at Cloudburst. Pretty sure this is the first ever Wit Saison hybrid beer I’ve ever had, but I’ll check the books. Not only that, its cool to see Steve bringing some Allagash type influence over from the old days, a brewery I’ve seeked out since beer and I first met. A cloudy golden orange pour with a patchy head and lace. Heavy yeast character in the aroma. Slightly dry. Orange peel and soft spice with a cool finish. Would never guess this was a Cloudburst beer, based on the past year of releases. Solid beer. Keep me guessing! Ordering another.

Nitro 10 oz pour at Cloudburst. This breaks up a lengthy streak of Cloudburst beers I’ve tried being in the hoppy category. Beers like this prove that they aren’t just killing it in the IPA game, but in the beer game in general. Instead of coming up with something crazy and unheard of, they take styles that everybody else does, and makes them better. Cola brown pour with a tan cream nitro foam head. Sturdy roasted coffee aroma. Smells delicious. Like the coffee bean aisle at the store. Flavor is milk chocolate first and a mellow coffee finish with no bitterness. Made with cold brew. Considering beer and cold brew coffee are two of my favorite things in this world, this was awesome. Going back for more!

Draft pour pint at Cloudburst. Very thick and cloudy orange pour with a thin fizz head. I was worried I was going to miss out on this beer. Put it off a little past comfort level, but didn’t have another No Recess incident this time. Juicy orange and grassy hop aroma. Flavor is grainy, thick malt body, with a juicy background. Orange juice. Look and taste. Creamy and refreshing. Expect nothing less.

Draft 12 oz pour at Cloudburst. Always a fun experience to try a Cloudburst beer not dominated by hops. I don’t fear the change. Pours a near black with a thin foam head. Heavy cinnamon spice aroma. Amazing. Flavor is heavy cinnamon, gingerbread, vanilla, pumpkin, and other autumn spices. An ideal beer for the weather. Some chocolate to round out the finish. An excellent pumpkin beer here. Further proof that these guys do all beer great. Awesome.

Draft pour pint at Cloudburst. Hops hops, and more hops! Hazy golden pour with a fading fizz head. Dank hop covered aroma. Flavor is a solid hop bitterness without being harsh. More of a grassy hop variety with fruit being an afterthought. An imperial feel to it. An IPA that gained momentum as it went. Solid stuff.

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.
