Thick sweet aroma with thick malt aroma. Sweet taste that curls the taste buds. Bready sweetness that hints like it’s going to dip into bourbon flavor, but stops just short. Nice, surprisingly smooth with the strong sweetness.
4 out of 5 stars.

Stillwater Artisanal Superhop
Strong hop aroma. Clean, sharp flavor bite of hops, followed by some malt taste. Lingering hop bitterness, but fairly smooth.

Southern Tier Nu Skool IPA
Nice sweet tropical hop aroma. Taste is a mixture of hop sweetness and caramel malt sweetness. Finishes fairly slick on mouthfeel and then leaves a pleasant residual tropical fruit hop flavor.

Short’s Chief Hopper
Overly sweet sticky aroma. Nice rounded hop and malt taste. Mostly taste the hops in the aftertaste, malt up front. Overly not very exciting.

Sam Adams Rebel IPA 2.0
Fresh sweet hop aroma. Mix of malt flavors coming in and battling the hops out of the way. Mix of hops and malt flavors, but really more of a malt flavor dominated rather than hops. I think I preferred the more hop assertive previous version.

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.

Sam Adams Hopscape
Slight aroma of hops but also nice malt aroma. Clean, crisp flavor that’s a great mix of nice malt flavor and fresh hop flavors. Very nice balance, and not over the top with anything.

Alaskan Husky IPA
Sweet, almost dank hop aroma. Moderate sweet taste that seems a mix of hops and malt. Fairly sweet and smooth flavor combination of hops, malt, and yeast. Minor hop bitterness, but not overly hoppy. Fairly clean, but a tad too much clinging sweetness.
