Faint sweet aroma. Almost puckering, almost sharp sweet flavor. Gets very smooth and any sharpness subdues and leaves you with a mild lingering sweetness. Combination of grapefruit and pineapple flavor in the hop bitterness. Interesting.
Nice strong citrus aroma. Taste is a mouthful of nice via flavors, not too sharp. Finish is quite fruity almost like fruit loops. Nice, but not sure if I could do more than one.
Slightly stake fruit aroma (although since canned on 12/11/2017 and drank on 12/28/2017 it’s definitely fresh). Sweet fruit mouthfeel and taste. Which fades and is replaced by a clean malt taste. Hop bitterness equally matched by sweetness and nicely finished with a soft clean malt taste.
Sweet, sticky aroma. Crisp taste bite quickly followed by a rush of berry flavor. Slight crispness at the end like you just had a bite of a fresh crisp apple. Then the fruit flavor vanishes and leaves with a mild malt taste intermixed with mellow very fruit flavor. Crisp and refreshing.
Faint aroma of dark malt. Taste is slightly sweet malt with dark overtones, but mellows quickly. Hope are present in the background – out of sight, but you know they’re there. Aftertaste is a nice mellow dark malt flavor that isn’t intrusive at all, and no coffee flavors present.
Bright, sweet hop aroma. Nice flavorful hop smoothness, followed by a mellow malt and mild hop flavor. Aftertaste is a mix of that watery hop flavor from the middle plus leftovers from the initial hop bite. Very pleasant and easy to drink.
Faint sweet hop aroma. Sharp bite of hops that gets filled in by a chorus of hop flavor that wants away the bitterness and leaves with a nice mild hop sweetness. Refreshing and flavorful, bright.
Great aromas like sniffing a bag of hops. You can even get the aroma while holding the glass a good 6-8 inches from your nose. Phenomenal. Nice sweet hop bite that’s very flavorful and not bitter. A good chunk of caramel malt sweetness rushes in for attention, but generally gets pummeled back by hops flavor. Notable, but not overpowering hop flavor in the aftertaste that lingers a long time. Great beer, but I don’t think my taste buds could handle the onslaught of more than one.
4.5 out of 5 stars.
