Victory Hop Devil IPA
Sweet aroma, a bit of strong caramel malt smell. Full flavor, not an all out hop attack like you’d expect based on the name / label. Good balance of hop and malt, with the malt taking a slightly more prominent role. Aftertaste is mainly malt forward, with hints of bitter hops in background that gives way to caramel malt lingering. Left with a slightly harsh impression overall.

Stroh’s Bohemian-Style Pilsner
No aroma. Slightly crisp hop bite, immediately backed by a malt flavor of Vienna malt. Fades to a conglomerate of typical cheap beer hops and malt taste. Not too bad despite this.

Coronado Sock Knocker IPA
Strong sweet resiny aroma. Fairly clean taste of hop sweetness. No notable malt flavor. Quite a bit of hop bitter sweetness in aftertaste. Maybe a bit too much.

Tri City Intergalactic Jack
Faint sweet aroma. Taste is mild with a bit of malt sweetness and a hint of hops. Can’t detect any of that Galaxy hop flavor I love. A bit disappointing, almost tastes like it’s a bit old. They don’t use date stamps so don’t know. Bought from a good beer store, but you just never know.

Sierra Nevada Nooner
Dry, slightly sweet aroma. Slightly crisp flavor with a bit of bitterness. Hop bitterness is a bit too much, leaves with a taste of malt mixed in with bitterness.

Short’s Local’s Light
Sweet aroma. Crisp taste, almost like apple cider. Flavor them becomes a mix of sweet crispness and a soft malt flavor. Somewhat refreshing, but relatively uninteresting.

Bells Lager of the Lakes
Sweet, slightly sharp aroma. Full flavored with a good amount of piney hops and a moderate malt sweetness. A bit too piney for me. Slightly harsh lingering taste.
