Pete - I went to the Seattle taproom on a Saturday afternoon in the summer. Small place that offers flights and has a 3rd party kitchen attached with cheap food. Great experience.

Great Notion ...Is A Virtue
Imperial Stout - 14.8% ABV Pete Collaboration with Ruse. Incredible. Lots and lots of chocolate and then the bourbon flavor hits. Hides the booze well. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Great Notion Apricult
Sour IPA - 7.8% ABV Pete Collaboration with Brujos (haven't had any of those as of 2/21/20). This is super drinkable. Apricot is obvious, with a hint of saltiness in there. I don't get much IPA flavor as it's hidden by the apricot. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |

Great Notion Birra Sporgenza
Italian Pilsner - 5.1% ABV Pete Nice pils that's super refreshing. The bubbles are super small, but there's a ton of them. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |
|
Great Notion Blueberry Muffin
Sour - 6% ABV Pete This literally tastes like a blueberry muffin with extra tart blueberries. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Great Notion Double Stack
Imperial Stout - 11% ABV Pete This literally tastes like pancakes. Maple along with a richness that's almost like a meal. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Great Notion Jammy Pants
Fruited Sour - 7% ABV Pete This definitely tastes like raspberry, although there isn't actually any of it in there. Fairly mild, but delicious - more fruity than sour. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Great Notion JB DIPA
Imperial New England IPA - 8.2% ABV Pete Exactly what you want from a NEIPA. Huge citrus flavor, a little creaminess. It does have a tiny hint of bitterness, which you wouldn't normally expect, but it works incredibly well. Pretty peachy. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Great Notion Juice Sr.
Imperial New England IPA - 10.6% ABV Pete Really, really dank. Doesn't seem all that boozy but the dank is too intense even for me. Ratings: Pete - 3 Shyoh's |
|
Great Notion Jules' Boysenberry Buckle
Sour - 7.3% ABV Pete Pictured on the left. This is a smoothie. Vanilla and sweet up front, with a little bit of tartness to balance. It's pretty good, but would be way better if less sweet. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |
|
Great Notion JUMBO: Marshmallow & Pecans
Imperial Pastry Stout - 13.5% ABV Pete Super sweet with tons of marshmallow flavor. The pecans don't really come through much, if at all. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |
|
Great Notion Love & Ritual
New England IPA - 7% ABV Pete Pictured 2nd from the left. Super creamy and very tropical. There's just enough coconut flavor from the Sabro to add to the tropical vibes without overpowering. Great beer. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Great Notion Mango Super Invader
Imperial New England IPA - 9% ABV Pete Very clearly mango. It's definitely good, but mango is really all it has - it needs something else to balance/complement to really put it over the top. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |
|
Great Notion Onyx Eye
Sour - 7% ABV Pete Very fruity and a little sweet. This just wasn't sour enough; didn't love it. Ratings: Pete - 3 Shyoh's |
|

Sour - 5.5% ABV Pete This is like an extra tart lemonade with a touch of strawberry. Excellent. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|

Great Notion Ruby Jammin
Sour - 7% ABV Pete Collaboration with McMenamins (haven't had any of those as of 7/31/23). This beer is like a smoothie. Tons of fruit, some salt to balance, and a hint of vanilla to round it out. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Great Notion Single Stack
Coffee Stout - 7.9% ABV Pete The pancake coffee combo is timeless, and it works in beer form. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |

|
Great Notion Super Duper Over Ripe
Imperial New England IPA - 11% ABV Pete There's just no way this is actually 11%. Dry and fruity with a touch of peppery, but not super sweet like most IPA's at this level. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Great Notion Tropical Pillows
New England IPA - 7.4% ABV Pete Pictured in the middle. As good as they come. Super super fruity without being sweet; passionfruit dominates. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
