Faint sweet malt aroma. Refreshing taste slightly crisp but soft. Light flavor mix of malt and hops. Decent. Fairly smooth and flavorful, but nothing stands out very prominently.
4 out of 5 stars.

Rockford Hoplust
Faint sweet hop aroma. Full flavor of malt sweetness and hops combined. Very strongly balanced of both, slight aftertaste of smooth malt.

Old Nation Boss Tweed
Bought at brewery on 5/6/2018, date on bottom says 5/1/2018. I hope that’s a born on date, not best by…
Beautiful sweet aroma. Smooth mouth feel that’s a great balance of hops and malt. Aftertaste is slight hop fruitiness and clean malt in background. Full flavored and smooth, but not overpowering.

Arbor Brewing Buzzsaw IPA
Nice floral aroma of hops. Crisp flavor bite that ignites taste buds and gets the mouth watering. Very hop flavorful, but not bitter at all. Hop flavor gives way to nice rounded malt flavor and finishes with a mild taste of both the hops and malt.
4.5 out of 5 stars.
Cigar City Jai Alai
Fresh sweet hop aroma that’s slightly citrusy but very floral. Crisp bite of hops that’s full of flavor that’s strong but not harsh at all. Very smooth finish with hints of a smooth malt character and very little lingering bitterness.

Founders Solid Gold
Faint sweetness in the aroma of malt or corn. Clean taste with a slight twinge of sweetness, but overall pretty bland. No aftertaste except a hint at the very back of the roof of the mouth of a mild sweetness. Totally unremarkable. Sure, make a light lager for people that drink Bud Light, but why? But why not just buy Bud Light?

Odd Side Alpha Beta
Fresh slightly citrusy hop aroma. Full mouth sweetness with a slightly sharp hop bite at the beginning that quickly fades into broad hop flavor blast, but trails off without leaving an aftertaste and finishes quite clean.

Russian River Pliny the Elder
Slightly spicy aroma. Slightly alcohol-y in aroma, but nice malt in the background. Very clean, slightly sharp taste. A bit sweet with a sharp aftertaste of hops that fades.

Sierra Nevada Hop Bullet
Strong sweet syrupy aroma. Crisp fresh bite of hop bitterness and yeast. Clean and refreshing, but not in a “Gatorade” sort of way. Good full flavor of hops but no lingering bitterness. Aftertaste is one of mild malt and a bit of yeast.

Short’s Superfluid
Nice hop aroma – sweet but not too strong, with a hint of fresh yeast smell. Nice full flavor that’s equal part hops, light malt, and yeast. Slight hop bitterness in the aftertaste.
