For a great cause!
My pie will be on Tripping William (and his girl Stella) for this one when he's back in town, unless RJ199 sneaks in and snarfs up that brew and your sporks. However, I'll be the high odds guy as I'm headed to Bottle Rev to pick up my August beer club 4 pack after work today and, if it's in stock...

Hidden Springs Ale Works Tropic Thunder
Berliner Weiss with strawberry, pineapple, papaya, and mango
Smells like strawberry and papaya.
Clear gold in the glass.
Whoa, a fruit explosion in your mouth!
Layers of tart fruit- a hint of pineapple, a bit of mellow mango and papaya, largely dominated by strawberry.
Maybe not quite as awesome as Bears on a Rampage, an excellent beer on its own.
Grateful for a delivery from my Florida source.
Cheers! 🍻
Brewery Bhavana Jean
A very delightful saison with hibiscus and elderflower.
A perfect match for a delightful lunch at BB.
Brewery Bhavana Elymus
I wish this beer description on the website mirrored the beer book at BB.
An incredibly light, complex, and balance sour that also complemented the food marvelously.
Brewery Bhavana Phuong Saison
Named for the head of the flower shop, a saison made with lavender and green tea.
Thankful this was just a sample. While very tasty, it would be very difficult to drink a full ten or sixteen ounce pour of this beer due to the distinct flavour combination.

Florida Avenue Passion of the Heights Hibiscus Wheat Ale
Pours a pretty rose pink.
A nose I cannot describe other than to suggest intriguing in a fun and happy way.
Prior experience with hibiscus beer is that the scent and flavour is delicate and easily overwhelmed.
The dominant taste is cinnamon, and dominant is misleading as the whole beer is subtle.
I was scratching my head about this beer and what I might think about it ahead of tasting it, and I admit I was skeptical.
I’m quite pleased to have tried it, as I can’t think of any other beer quite like it.
This is one of the best aspects of trying new beer- finding a good surprise, and beers that surpass preconceived notions and expectations.
Cheers all!
Upland Octoberfest
A thoughtful gift.
An ok Octoberfest.

Not sure if I have a top three for Octoberfests.
Maybe I can throw a bone Aviator’s way for Octoberbeast.
