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.
3.5 out of 5 stars.
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.
4.5 out of 5 stars.
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.

Rogue 6 Hop IPA
Nice hefty sweet hop aroma. Crisp hop flavor bite, that ends up with a swirl of hop flavors, none of them overpowering. Finishes with a slight malt sweetness. Smooth.
4.5 out of 5 stars.
Batch Brewing Burlington Oat Factory
Sweet hop aroma. Very nice hop juiciness with a hint of caramel malts. Overall gives a smooth full mouthful of nice hop flavor, fading slowly to leave a creamy malt/hop/yeast flavor. Very nice.

Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA
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.
4.5 out of 5 stars.
Stone Ripper
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.
