tfontana	3.3 Big Storm Virga Can (8/18/22) pour from trade with Johnnnniee--thanks, John!

Taste is mix of strong tart fruit, cherry, pine and lemon. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth, frothy texture, average carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, an experimental IPA but it's basically an old school IPA mixed with tart fruit--not digging it. Friday, November 18, 2022

nick76	2.8 Big Storm Reef Revival Session IPA 16oz can from Winn-Dixie Tampa. The aroma is fairly well hopped with pine hops and bread malt to balance. The appearance is golden with a medium head that fades to nothing. The taste is like the aroma but rather clean and slightly dry. The palate is soft from carbonation. Overall a standard but good session IPA. Tuesday, August 23, 2022
nick76	2.3 Big Storm Reef Revival Lager 16oz can from Winn-Dixie. The aroma is standard lager with pale malts and grassy hops. There is also a metallic element in there. The appearance is straw gold with a medium head. The taste is like the aroma and on the dryer side with a but of an astringent soapy finish. The palate is thin and typical for the style. Overall not bad and certainly not weak or watery. It's completely drinkable but not flawless. Tuesday, August 23, 2022
Kleg	3.2 Big Storm Sunny Key Lime 16 oz. can from Total Wine. Pours an opaque gold color with a small white head and poor retention. Virtually no lacing. Lime aroma, as expected. Very strong lime flavor dominates with a sturdy wheat base for support. This is more of a fruit beer or shandy than a wheat ale. Sweet, no bitterness. Clean, smooth, and light. Thin body. Lightly carbonated. A decent pool beer. Monday, May 30, 2022
Kleg	2.7 Big Storm Starkey Strawberry 16 oz. can from Total Wine. Pours an opaque orange-bronze color with a tiny off-white head and poor retention. Decent lacing. Not really any aroma. Faint strawberry? Tart strawberry flavor in a generic base beer. Can't really identify any blonde ale characteristics. Not sweet or bitter. Medium-light body. Light carbonation. Too tart and not enough beer flavor in my opinion. Saturday, May 28, 2022

jbruner	3.9 Big Storm Cold IPA Pours a hazy golden orange from the can with bubbly white foam that dissipates to leave good lace. Aroma of candied pineapple and tangerine from the hops, a touch of biscuit and cracker malt, with some resin that lingers. Taste is moderately bitter from the hops, lightly sweet from the malt, dry but still chewy because of yeast in suspension. Could be a little cleaner, but smells great. Wednesday, February 23, 2022
