Bright fruity hop aroma. Sweet taste that seems full of coriander. No hop bitterness, no lingering hop taste. Very dry at the end. Tastes like it was fermented with Belgian yeast (not a fan myself).
3.5 out of 5 stars.

Batch Brewing Empire Pale Ale
Clean, fresh aroma of hops with a bit if make sweetness. Crisp taste of hops which is immediately replaced with a caramel malt sweetness. Finishes evenly with a balance of malt sweetness and hops. Very clean, evenly balanced beer.
4.5 out of 5 stars.
Big Lake Midnight Rider
Dark malt and hop sweetness aroma blended together. Clear dark malt taste with a bit of hop fruitiness buried in the background. Aftertaste is one of clean mild dark malt fading slowly. A lot of flavor but not a lot of bite on anything.

Short’s Psychedelic Cat Grass
Sweet aroma of fresh hops. Slight hop bite that’s quickly followed by a mouthful of great floral/fruity hops. Very little aftertaste other than a lingering hop bitterness in the background and clean malt sweetness in the foreground.

Bell’s Official
Very clear smell of fresh yeast, with a hint of hop fruitiness in the background. Taste is slightly crisp and refreshing. Slight edge of hops with a smooth sweetness of hops and yeast. As it warms, more flavorful full-mouth fruit hop flavor takes center stage.

4 out of 5 stars.
Short’s Hellacious Rock
Strong sweet aroma, concentrated, almost like honey. Strong bitter hop flavor gives way to a slightly caramel malt flavor. Aftertaste is a drying malt taste with hop bitterness lingering in the background. Tastes like a strong beer, and is, at 8.9% ABV. Up front and in your face with an assertive, but not quite overpowering flavor assault.
4.5 out of 5 stars.
