Brewery: Modern Times – Portland, OR

Rating: 3.75/5
Notes: A nice lager with some Belgian yeast I believe. It certainly has that Belgian taste to me. Perfect for a hot day and that’s been pretty often this summer.

Drinkage: 3 months after can date. Not as fresh as I’d like but it’s not too bad for a lager

Beer: Double Hipster

September 12, 2018 by thebeersbeer

Style: DIPA
ABV: 8.2%
IBU:-
Hops: Idaho-7, Topaz and Ella
———————————–
Brewery: Masons Brewing Company – Brewer, ME
Brewery IG: @masonsbrewingco
———————————–
Rating: 4.25/5
Notes: Great combination of hops which I don’t know very well other than Topaz which give this beer a nice uniqueness. That’s a pretty great quality to have for a beer especially these days when there’s a million hazy, double IPAs. The fruit and sweetness was just right for me.
Can Art: Sweet. My picture doesn’t do it justice. The illustrations are super legit. I love the “now twice as cool as you” as well.
Drinkage: 23 days after can date.

IBU: 50
Hops: Citra and Amarillo
———————————–
Brewery: Hopworks Urban Brewery, Portland, OR
Brewery IG: @hopworksbeer
———————————–
Rating: 4/5
Notes: Nicely done grapefruit beer. Lots of times the ones I’ve had are too sweet or too tart. This is right in the middle and very drinkable.
Can art: Sick! Great design.
Drinkage: Damn. One year. No joke. Wow. I just bought it at the store… I’m hoping my review wasn’t too off because of how old it was and that the strong grapefruit made it hold up a bit. ———————————–

Rating: 4.5/5
Notes: These Peach Punches from Great Notion and Block15 are awesome. This version is the Great Notions brewed offering/variation. This one features a bit of salt which I’m trying to figure out if I like it or not. It’s a light salt flavor I get at the tail but it’s certainly unique.
Can Art: Awesome. Always good can block print type can art from Great Notion.
Drinkage: As fresh as possible. 3 days after date on can and day of release.
