Sweet citrusy hop aroma. Crisp flavor bite, but with a resiny flavor that has some alcohol heat detectable. Gets a bit smoother on further drinks and/or as beer slightly warms.
I typically like everything on the cold side, but this one definitely needs to warm a bit to blend the flavors better and kill the resiny alcohol bite.
Strong floral hop aroma. Crisp hop bite that catches your attention, then an immediate drying hop crispness on the back end. Lingering hop bitterness with a slightly “green hop” edge to it. Further drinks provide a huge aroma of hops like you’re burying your head in a bag full of ’em. Very clean, dry aftertaste.
Full earthy malt aroma. Crisp malt taste with some nice supporting hops in the background. Flavorful, slightly crisp, and lingering malt taste with multiple malt flavors dancing around.
Faint sweet smell of hops. Crisp bite of light hops and very light malt. Finishes with a slightly tangy yeast sweetness them a lingering hop sweetness.
As it warms a bit, clean malt taste starts to be more notable.
Faint delicate hop sweet aroma. Taste is sharp and full of malt and hops flavor. Strong flavor tapers quickly and leaves some caramel malt flavor and slightly bitter hop flavor.
Nice full sweet aroma. Full flavored juicy sweet hop flavor that immediately transitions to smooth grain taste. Very nice smooth taste with nice grain, hop, and yeast. Far better than anything I’ve ever had from Rochester Mills.
Drank on 8/15/2017. Nice full sweet aroma, not overbearing. Can clearly taste a clean but complex hop character. Moderate malt sweetness, followed by a slightly dry yeast flavor. Nice almost fruit like flavor.
4.5 out of 5 stars.
