Sweet assume of his and yeast. Crisp flavor with hops and a nice malt taste with a hint of caramel malt and yeast. Very good balance of malt and hops with a nice yeast flavor.

Nice clean crisp hop aroma. Slightly sweet hop taste immediately backfilled by a nice malty Munich malt flavor. Great hop aromas and nice malty tasty smoothness. Almost like two different beer personalities.

Latitude 42 Party at the Moon Tower
Full sweet hop aroma. Slightly tart flavor at first, which gets replaced by malt sweetness, finally fades into hop bitterness lingering. Has a mixture of four hops I really like, but the caramel malt flavor takes away from it, as well as the lingering bitterness. Still pretty good, just maybe a bit too overwhelming.

Faint sweet aroma. Taste is mild with a bit of malt sweetness and a hint of hops. Can’t detect any of that Galaxy hop flavor I love. A bit disappointing, almost tastes like it’s a bit old. They don’t use date stamps so don’t know. Bought from a good beer store, but you just never know.

North Peak Stormy Oat IPA
Nice full sweet hop aroma. Sweet, almost puckeringly crisp hop taste that quickly smooths. Full, bright flavor with a hint of residual hop bitterness. I don’t detect any oat smooth mouthfeel effect, but I sampled this pretty cold.

Very roasty malt taste. Fairly clean taste, but too smoky for me.

Kickstand Deralia IPA
No aroma. Slightly bitter taste. Not harsh, but a bit medicinal-like. Finishes clean, but with a lingering hop bitterness.

Kickstand Sorachi Blonde
Very nice clean taste, almost like a cream ale. Very refreshing with a smooth malt flavor that lingers.

Rockford Paradigm MPA
Nice thick frothy head. Flavor is even mix of malt (caramel mostly) and hops. A bit too much caramel hops, almost smoky flavor. Lingering hop bitterness, slightly harsh.
Have had this before and I really enjoyed it. Maybe the caramel makes were less pronounced.
