Brewery: Smartmouth Brewing Co. – Norfolk, VA
Brewery IG: @smartmouthbeer
———————————–
Rating: 3.75/5
Notes: Not bad for all the hype but not crazy either. The marshmallow flavor is there but it’s a bit funky. Tastes a bit like milk sugar but with some bitterness. I’m not sure if marshmallow and hops really jive together that much. It would be better as a sour or Berliner Weiss.
Can art: Can’t go wrong with the nostalgic rainbows and lucky charms. Magically ridiculous!
Drinkage: 14 days from date on can

Brewery: Great Notion – Portland, OR
Brewery IG: @greatnotionpdx
———————————–
Rating: 3.75/5
Notes: 3.75/4 Bare in mind that I’m not a coffee drinker because I don’t really enjoy coffee that much but I really like the maple and blueberry flavors. I think if I liked coffee this might be a 4.75 or 5 beer. It’s bursting with tons of flavor, not too sweet but has some nice tartness.
Can art: Awesome as usual. It’s sweet they got everything in there.
Drinkage: 7 days after date on can

Brewery: Ecliptic Brewing – Portland, OR and Brooklyn Brewery – Brooklyn, NY
Brewery IG: @eclipticbrewing and @brooklynbrewery
———————————–
Rating: 4/5
Notes: Bright and citrusy with not much sour or tartness. Very enjoyable and would be a great go to on a hot day. The tangerine stands out. It’s kinda crazy that this is my first review of Ecliptic or Brooklyn. I’ve drank plenty of Brooklyn and a ton of Ecliptic. Great to see this collaboration.
Bottle art : I really dig it. Spacy, colorful, reflective… What’s not too like.
Drinkage: No date on bottle.
