There Does Not Exist Before the Flowers Hazy IPA (Picked up at Windmill Farms). A 3 of 4. One of the thicker hazy IPAs I've had recently -- this has a ton of fruitiness to it, primarily orange citrus and a bit of stone fruit. Quite a lot of interesting stuff going on here, though quite sticky, which makes it a little bit less refreshing than it could be.

Pure Project Golden Sol West Coast IPA (Picked up at Windmill Farms). A 3 of 4. A really good West Coast IPA with a bit of a lighter body -- nice mix of tropical fruit and citrus plus quite a bit of resin and pine towards the finish.

There Does Not Exist Light Shining Darkly West Coast IPA (Picked up at Windmill Farms). A 3 of 4. Smells and tastes like you'd expect with a pretty traditional hop profile -- just a bit of tropical and berry-like notes on top of lots of orange citrus and a touch of herbal qualities. The body is quite light and refreshing, and a nice lingering bitterness rounds this out in the finish.

Harland + Burgeon Color Form West Coast IPA (Picked up at Windmill Farms). A 3 of 4. Nice big mix of citrus in the nose including some lemon/lime along with the orange and grapefruit, and has quite a bit of more herbal notes in the body, too. Refreshing and nicely balanced.

Bottle Logic Strength Check West Coast Triple IPA (Picked up at Windmill Farms). A 3 of 4. Lots of berry and tropical fruit on this in the nose, and you can tell this is big right away at 10%. Somewhat sweet on the palate until a moderate bitterness and just a faint booze presence fades in towards the finish.

There Does Not Exist Foreteller Black Lager (Picked up at Windmill Farms). A 4 of 4. Really great nose on this -- lots of roast notes and chocolate and some cola-like fruity notes. The body has some nice roast to it too and a dry finish with some lingering malt character and just a touch of grass/pine. Walks the fine line of being not too complex and yet not too simple -- quite great.

There Does Not Exist Ultraterrestrial Hazy IPA (Picked up at Windmill Farms). A 4 of 4. Very pungent -- tons of orange citrus, stone fruit, and just a slight bit of herbal notes, too. The body is very soft on the palate and quite fruity. Really sticky and lingers in the finish -- quite excellent.

Harland Brewing Wainui West Coast IPA (Picked up at Windmill Farms). A 3 of 4. A nice West Coast IPA with a lot of tropical fruit and stone fruit in the nose, with a bit of orange citrus behind it all. Quite light-bodied and a crisp and clean finish.
