mcberko Profile

On tap at Great Notion - Ballard, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma is full of Reese’s PB cups, peanuts, marshmallow, and cocoa — mostly PB cups though. Flavour is less sweet than expected, with lots of PB cups, cocoa, light sugars, and some marshmallow. Tons of peanut butter cups on the finish without the requisite sweetness, and it’s not too artificial. Fun stuff for what it is.

Ripe - West Coast from Great Notion Brewing

11 months ago

6.1/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6.5

On tap at Great Notion - Ballard, pours a clear pale golden with a small white head. Aroma is very seltzery, with gentle floral hops and a touch of piney hops. Flavour is rather uncoordinated, with seltzery notes, muffled hops, some pine, and light citrus. Finishes dry and crisp. Not the best hop expression, and far from a superior WCIPA. Meh.

7.8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8

On tap at Bale Breaker - Seattle, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma is dank AF, with huge pot-like hops, pine, and light biscuity malt. Flavour is likewise dank as hell, with huge pot-like hops, big piney hop bitterness, and a dry biscuity malt base. Piney, dank, pot-like finish. Excellent.
