No real aroma other than a very mild caramel malt sweetness. Taste is clean and uneventful. No real aftertaste. Very akin to a nice glass of water. Not offensive in any way, but not exciting either.

New Holland Mad Hatter
Almost no aroma, but with some searching, found a subtle hop fruitiness. Taste has a clean edge to it, clearing the palate, then leaning some mild hop taste with a bit of clean malt in the background.
Taste fills in better after the beer warms a little bit. There is also a slight soapy taste to it, but I just had another beer (NEIPA) just before it in this same glass with no hint of that.

Dark Horse Hazy Crooked Tree
Aroma of sweet fruity hops, like pineapple. Smooth clean taste with a very slight hop edge that fades into a fruity taste and mild malt taste. Very slight lingering hop flavor in aftertaste.
4.5 out of 5 stars.
Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA
Fresh, clean hop aroma. Taste is crisp with a good mix of hops, yeast, and a hint of caramel malt. Full flavor balance, but leaves palate fairly clear with just some lingering hoppiness.
Drink by May 2024, drank on 12/25/2023.

Stone Imperial Stout
Strong sticky sweet aroma. Thick taste with a tart twang when it first hits the palate, but then the dark malt comes in and smooths it out, leaving a clean dark malt taste. Slightly crisp hop bite helps clear the palate as well. Aftertaste is lingering complex flavor mix of clean dark malt and some clean yeast flavor. Fairly dry on the palate, not thick or cloying like a typical 10+% beer.

Short’s Chocolate Wheat
Dark malt aroma, but not overpowering or sweet. Slightly crisp on the palate, but scatters in all directions without leaving a strong taste. Moderate dark malt taste in background with hints of light hops and a mild yeast taste.

Dragoon Brewing Sonoran Amber
Nice bready aroma of clean malt with some caramel notes in the background. Crisp, but not bitter, bite that gets washed out by some slightly sticky caramel sweetness. Finished with a slight lingering malt and yeast sweetness. A little too much residual sweetness.

La Cumbre Elevated IPA
Bright floral hop aroma. Crisp bite of hops that gets washed away by a caramel malt sweetness, followed by a yeast dryness. Clean, dry palate afterwards work done lingering hop bitterness in the background. Very refreshing.

SanTan Devil’s Ale
Bright sweet hop aroma with caramel malt notes. Crisp hop bite with a fish of clean light caramel malt flavor that washes out the bitterness. Very tasty.

Dragoon Brewing Dragoon IPA
Nice sweet, sticky hop aroma. Flavor is crisp with hops, then cuts sweet and slick like there is some rye lingering in there. Nice afterwards of some caramel malt sweetness, yeast, and moderate hop bitterness. Easy drinking and very flavorful.
