Faint resinous hop aroma. Smooth taste on the palate, some mild hop flavors come in, mixed with some light caramel-y malts. Very light flavor overall, and easy to drink large amounts. But the flavor is so mild, it doesn’t really beg lots of drinking…
4 out of 5 stars.
Bottled 9/30/2024, drank on 11/2/2024. Fresh, bright hop aroma. Easy on the palate with no real hop bitterness. Flavor slowly builds to a smooth hop taste that dominates, along with nose full of hops on each drink. Heavy on hop flavors, but low on bitterness.

Aroma is rich with dark malt sweetness. Taste starts a little slippery and harsh, then on the back end smooths out to a broad roasted malt taste. Not a great combination. Would like more of the second, less of the first.
3.5 out of 5 stars.
Slightly hot aroma of the barrel age. Smooth dark chocolate taste with very little bitterness or aftertaste. Further drinks provide aroma and aftertaste of a very rich dark chocolate milkshake- but workout the sweetness.

Strong, sticky sweet aroma of resiny hops. Slight hop bite that immediately turns soft/smooth, them some minor caramel malt flavor. Leaves with hop bitterness and some yeast flavor.
It’s surprisingly very good for being an IPA just over a year old!

Bright, fresh aroma of hops, with a little bit of pine/resin. Slightly crisp hop bite on the palate that spreads out broadly to give tastes of both hops and malt. Full flavored, but not too bitter. Hops aftertaste lingers, then fades slowly.
4.5 out of 5 stars.
Spicy, sharp, dark malt aroma with an alcohol aroma. Taste is very broad across the palate with a sweet softness. Finishes pretty clean with a slight malty sweetness. Slight hint of dark chocolate in the aftertaste, but not bitter or sweet, just kinda roasty.
4.5 out of 5 stars.
Sweet, citrusy hop aroma. Fairly dry on the palate (yeast effect?) with a minor citrus sweetness. This gets replaced by a slightly caramel malt sweetness. Leaves the palate with a pleasant slight sweetness of malt and yeast work citrus hops hiding in background. Very pleasant.
Be sure to swirl the can to get any hop residue mixed up and into your glass.
4.5 out of 5 stars.
Sweet dark malt aroma. Very smooth on the palate. Creamy mouthful with just a hint of dark malt that fades almost immediately just leaving the smooth creamy taste. Very easy to drink (4.2% ABV).
5 out of 5 stars.
Bright hop aroma. Sweet hop flavor that’s flat and dry on the palate. Yeast flavor lingers briefly but overall palate is left clean with just hints of smooth malt.
