Sweet hop aroma. Very nice hop juiciness with a hint of caramel malts. Overall gives a smooth full mouthful of nice hop flavor, fading slowly to leave a creamy malt/hop/yeast flavor. Very nice.
4.5 out of 5 stars.

Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA
Sweet assume of his and yeast. Crisp flavor with hops and a nice malt taste with a hint of caramel malt and yeast. Very good balance of malt and hops with a nice yeast flavor.
4.5 out of 5 stars.
Stone Ripper
Nice clean crisp hop aroma. Slightly sweet hop taste immediately backfilled by a nice malty Munich malt flavor. Great hop aromas and nice malty tasty smoothness. Almost like two different beer personalities.
4.5 out of 5 stars.
Latitude 42 Party at the Moon Tower
Full sweet hop aroma. Slightly tart flavor at first, which gets replaced by malt sweetness, finally fades into hop bitterness lingering. Has a mixture of four hops I really like, but the caramel malt flavor takes away from it, as well as the lingering bitterness. Still pretty good, just maybe a bit too overwhelming.
4 out of 5 stars.
Tri City Intergalactic Jack
Faint sweet aroma. Taste is mild with a bit of malt sweetness and a hint of hops. Can’t detect any of that Galaxy hop flavor I love. A bit disappointing, almost tastes like it’s a bit old. They don’t use date stamps so don’t know. Bought from a good beer store, but you just never know.

North Peak Stormy Oat IPA
Nice full sweet hop aroma. Sweet, almost puckeringly crisp hop taste that quickly smooths. Full, bright flavor with a hint of residual hop bitterness. I don’t detect any oat smooth mouthfeel effect, but I sampled this pretty cold.

Kickstand Center Stage Amber
Very roasty malt taste. Fairly clean taste, but too smoky for me.

Kickstand Deralia IPA
No aroma. Slightly bitter taste. Not harsh, but a bit medicinal-like. Finishes clean, but with a lingering hop bitterness.
3.5 out of 5 stars.

Very nice malt taste. Moderate hop bite comes in toward end.

Kickstand Sorachi Blonde
Very nice clean taste, almost like a cream ale. Very refreshing with a smooth malt flavor that lingers.
