Fresh hop aroma. Crisp hop bite that immediately softens to a full flavor of fresh hops. Mike malt taste in background. Amazing job of such a strong hop punch to not be overpowering, and still have a detectable malt presence.
5 out of 5 stars.

Founders Trigo
Faint sweet hop aroma. Smooth taste with subdued hops flavor and a mild year/wheat malt flavor. Overall, very mild. Hard to believe with flavors this subtle that it’s 6.3%. Slight hop bitterness lingering in aftertaste.
4 out of 5 stars.
Brewdog Punk IPA
Bright hop aroma. Crisp sweet flavor of hops that slowly fades away. Aftertaste is minor hop bitterness with hint of malt in background. Continuous fresh hop aroma in every drink.
4.5 out of 5 stars.
Short’s Space Rock Aug-2018
Fresh sweet aroma that’s a nice even mix of hops and malt. Crisp hop bite that’s slightly fruity, but has a bitter edge to it. Full mouth flavor. Slightly bitter hop aftertaste lingers together with a nice bready malt flavor. Malt flavor dissipates, then hop bitterness slowly fades away.

Dogfish Head Liquid Truth Serum IPA
Sweet, flower-like hop aroma. Smooth hop flavor that has no bitter bite, but builds up slowly and smoothly to a full hop flavor. Very mild smooth hop aftertaste with a slightly dank note.
4 out of 5 stars.
Stone Idolatrous IPA
Fresh aroma of hops- sweet but slightly biting in smell. Flavor is sweet hops, almost lemony. Very smooth tasting and goes down easy. Very minor sweet hop aftertaste. Extremely drinkable for 7% ABV.

Short’s Sticky Icky Icky
Super sweet, strong hop bitterness aroma. Full-flavored hop sweetness, slightly bitter, but transitions to a clean malt flavor with no lingering hop bitterness. Very flavorful, but surprisingly smooth finish.
5 out of 5 stars.
Short’s Hopstache
Sweet hop aroma with a slight hop sharpness, almost reminiscent of pepper. Clean flavored slightly bitter taste of hops and grapefruit, finishing with a clean malt taste. A mild hop bitterness lingering in far away background. Very delicious.

Short’s Huma Lupa Licious
Sweet, tangy aroma of hops and caramel malt. Initial taste is soft, with a hop crispness on the back end. Further drinks repeats the approachable malt smoothness with the jagged hop edge on the back end. Very drinkable. On tap tends to have a brighter hop flavor.

Gigantic Sassy Pony Pale Ale
Great floral hop aroma. Slightly crisp hop bite of tropical fruits. Fades slowly and leaves you with mild hop sweetness. Fairly smooth mouthfeel.
