The wait is over. Temptation batch 4 has finally hit my lips. Poured a shinny golden color with a sizable white head. Great aromas coming off this. Lemon is very pronounced and oak lingers. I could sense the "brett". I enjoyed just breathing this in. More tart, citrus flavors on the palate, along with french oak. Very light mouthfeel and alcohol is very well hidden. A little young right now, but should improve with age. I'll be stuffing a few away.

Wow. This is one amazing beer. Chocolate and coffee battling it out. I got more chocolate on the front end and coffee on the back. Has a nice warmth to it from the 11.00% abv. This is supposed to get better? 98 out of 100. Might kick it up 2 points in a year. Will see.

Nice little I.P.A in a can. I recommend pouring into a pint glass. You'll want to release those citrus flavors. Gives a great hop kick on the finish. Perfect for sipping by the pool. 85 out of 100.

Interesting take on this style. Hazy, orange color with a medium size, off white head. Nice retention along with noticeable lacing. Very aromatic. Loved just breathing this in. Yeasty bread aromas along with spices, floral notes, and basil. Flavors of yeast, citrus, thai basil, with a finish of light hops. Nice and creamy with a lively mouthfeel. Recommended. 90 out of 100.

Really enjoying this style. I prefer the 1809, but I would never turn this down. Cloudy, pale yellow color. Getting whiffs of peach, wheat, and tartness. Nice zesty flavors of lemon and tartness of peach on the palate. A good amount of acidity. Very light and refreshing. Great for a summer afternoon.

Burned through a lot of cases of Sumpin' last week. More than I would have liked because I didn't get to try it. Well stocked this week. Will have a session with this over the weekend.
