Side by side review with Big Lake Camper Special. Camper: Citrusy aroma, a bit on the light side. Taste has citrusy hops with notes of oranges, light grapefruit and some pineapple. Light bitterness in the finish. The body is medium+ with a medium-ish amount of carbonation. Camper Special: Citrusy and malty aroma. Taste has citrusy hops with notes of oranges, pineapple and grapefruit. There's a solid malt backbone tying this all together. Less noticeable bitterness in the finish, but it's still there. More flavor overall. The body is medium+, almost medium-full, with medium-ish carbonation. I'm sure you can tell from reading which one is the best. Big Lake Camper Special wins. Both are very good. If I want an easier to drink NEIPA, I'll reach for regular Camper. If I'm looking for more flavor and body, give me Camper Special. Camper: 4/5 Camper Special: High 4.25/5

Backlog from September 24th Light pumpkin and pumpkin spices in the aroma along with some roasted malts. Taste has the same thing, but the pumpkin and spices are stronger in the flavor than in the aroma. The body is medium+ with a medium amount of carbonation. Not bad. High 3.5/5

Backlog from August 25th Smells like a Pina colada. Great start. Taste has pineapple first, followed by coconut and citrusy hops. The body is medium+ with medium carbonation. It'd be nice if the Pina Colada flavor was a bit more prominent, but it's done very well. Solid 4/5

Backlog from June 1st Nice aroma. Taste has oranges, grapefruit and citrusy hop flavor. Low bitterness. The body is medium+ with medium carbonation and a smooth mouthfeel. Quite refreshing, despite the higher abv. Very tasty. 4.5/5
