Bright, fresh hop aroma. Crisp bitter bite of hops, followed by a mouthful of hop flavor. The go flavor is somewhat harsh and seems to clash for my taste buds with the complex yeast.

Got this as part of a Hoppy Christmas mix pack in 2021.
Great fresh hop aroma with hints of yeast, reminiscent of Huma Lupa. Flavor is sharp and sweet, with a slightly ragged edge on the back end, followed by strong caramel malt sweetness. Too sweet and bitter for my tastes.

Beautiful fresh fruity hop aroma. Crisp bitterness hop bite, followed by a mild Carmel malt smoothness. Finishes with mild malt flavor, then lingering hop bitterness.

Aroma of sticky hop sweetness with hints of caramel malt. Clean palate taste of mild malt, goes down quite smoothly with mostly malt and a bit of yeast flavor. Way in the background is a minor hop bitterness. Very tasty.

Sweet hop aroma, almost raw. Sweet taste that immediately transitions from the raw hop aroma to a smooth grapefruit-like taste, without the bite. Very smooth from a bitterness perspective, but a lot of different tastes lurking around the edges. Interesting.

Overly sweet, raisin-like aroma. Wow tangy, like a cross between a fresh-squeezed juice and a red wine. Not overly strong tasting, just lingers around in that juice/wine taste category. I don’t drink wine. Might be good if you like wine?

Nice, broad, bright hop aroma. Taste has hop bite and then a mouthful of hop flavors and bitterness. Has a slight edge to the hoppiness, but not overpowering. Caramel malt sweetness in the background can be tasted in amongst the hop waves.

Sweet and thick hop aroma. Strange, almost sour/tangy flavor. Finishes without any bitterness, with a slightly sweet residual. Almost concord grape-like. Not sure I’m a big fan.
One month since canning date.

Bright, strong hop aroma. Sharp biting bitterness, with a hint of caramel malt in the background. Full on hop bitterness assault that’s somehow still drinkable.
One month past the canning date, so still fresh.

Muted hop aroma. Slight tang flavor at first, that traditions to a moderate malt flavor. Very slight malt and hops flavor lingers. Overall fairly smooth and not very hoppy for an IPA.
