Sweet aroma of caramel malts. Slightly crisp bite with good mix of hops and dark/caramel malts. Sweeps the palate clean and leaves a slight lingering version of the initial taste. Overall, super tasty.

Ska Brewing Modus Hoperandi IPA
Sweet aroma of resinous hops and caramel malt. Crisp taste with a great balance of hop bite and caramel malt flavor. These two work together in perfect balance to be strong flavored of both, but neither overpowering. Spectacular.
5 out of 5 stars.
Odell Rupture Fresh Grind IPA
Aroma of bright floral hops, with a mild malt sweetness in the background. Slightly crisp taste, followed by creamy yeast flavor, and ending with light floral hop taste that lingers and fades smoothly. Refreshing.
4.5 out of 5 stars.
Oskar Blues Western Mutant IPA
Sweet aroma of resinous hops. Crisp flavor bite of yeast and hops. Aftertaste is slightly juicy and finishes fairly clean with a mix of yeast and light malt flavor.
4 out of 5 stars.
Oskar Blues Double Dale’s Imperial IPA
Strong aroma of sweet malt, and resinous hops. Taste is slightly sweet, almost fruity. Thick resin flavor comes in, along with a hop bite. Hints of the 9% alcohol in subsequent drinks. Very flavorful, but not overpowering like most Imperial IPA are.
4.5 out of 5 stars.
Founders Peachy Trouble Imperial IPA
Sweet fruity aroma, mainly smells like hops. Taste is slightly cloying and sweet with a slightly bigger edge. This fades as a slow crescendo of peach flavor slowly builds. Finish is very nice and tasty, not juice-like or over fruity at all. Refreshing, and it hides its 8.9% ABV amazingly well.
Bottled 4/12/2022, tasted on 4/30/2022. Super fresh.

Short’s Spring IPL
Bright flowery/citrus hop aroma. Clean taste of hops with a kind of bitterness that doesn’t have an edge to it. Overall smooth on the palate, but with lots of hop flavor. Minor hop bitterness in the aftertaste, even if the mouthfeel still is soft. Interesting combination that’s both sessionable and bitter at the same time.
4 out of 5 stars.
Old Nation Night Farmer
Clean aroma of slightly sweet dark malt. Full malt flavor spreads out across the palate, then finishes somewhat dry, with a clean lingering dark malt taste.
4 out of 5 stars.
Short’s Uber Goober
Dark stout aroma. Slightly crisp flavor bite with a hint of the alcohol. Mainly tastes like a heavy stout, with hints of peanuts. Fades into an aftertaste that is a mix of dark malt roastiness and peanut flavor. Overall finishes fairly dry/clean.
4 out of 5 stars.
DuClaw Sweet Baby Jesus
Aroma of mild chocolate and fresh peanuts mixed in. Interesting flavorful taste that dips in and out, hinting at strong flavors, then suddenly disappearing. Seems like it’s gonna settle in on a mild roast coffee flavor, then that, too, fades away. Very flavorful, and the dry finish leaves it not too heavy/sweet for another drink.
4.5 out of 5 stars.
