Founders Red’s Rye IPA
Sweet aroma balance of yeast, hops, and mild caramel malt. Crisp taste of hops and malt in equal portions. Aftertaste is mostly one of caramel malt, but not overly sweet. Hop flavor comes in like a palate cleanser and sweeps most of the malt taste away.
4.5 out of 5 stars.
Founders Unraveled IPA
Bright aroma of hops and a bit of yeast. Crisp flavor of hops, light malt, and a bit of yeast fill the palate full of flavors. Fades fairly quickly, then leaves just a lingering bitterness with a yeast complement in the background.
4.5 out of 5 stars.

Faint super sweet aroma. Slightly sharp bite of hops, followed by a clean malt taste. Aftertaste has some lingering hop bitterness and hint of caramel malt. Overall full flavored but minimal aftertaste.

Principia Cuasar 3C 286
Faint hop sweetness aroma. Taste is strong with hop flavor, but soft mouthfeel. After initial taste, mouth fills with full hop flavors. Slightly cloying in the aftertaste. Had in Mexico City craft beer bar, from Mexican brewery.
4 out of 5 stars.

Bell’s Light Hearted Ale
Sweet aroma. Nice crisp hop taste, has a notable “hollow-like taste” immediately after the initial hop taste, then a nice smooth malt taste slides in. Great flavor. Good hop taste, with nice clean malt balance.
5 out of 5 stars.
Bell’s Hopslam Jan-2020
Nice strong sweet hop aroma. Nice hop flavor that doesn’t have a harsh bite. Full hop flavor and maltiness, that gives way to a robust caramel malt flavor. This slowly fades and is replaced by a broad hop flavor that lingers.
4.5 out of 5 stars.
