Nice sweet aroma like fruit. Taste is a mix of caramel malt and hops, followed quickly by a clean grain taste. Eventually fades to a mild hop aftertaste.
4.5 out of 5 stars.

Milwaukee Brewing Hop Happy
Sharp, bitter extreme fruity hop aroma. Flavor a balance of fruity hops and malt in the background. Initial taste is a bit overly sweet/harsh, aftertaste is a clean malt lingering.
3.5 out of 5 stars.
Karben4 Fantasy Factory
Slightly sharp hop aroma. Slight hop bite followed by nice malty flavor with some caramel sweetness lingering. Refreshing, although the sharp hop bite and full malt flavor seen a bit like two competing radios at high volume. One or the other turned down a bit would be nice.
4 out of 5 stars.
Rogue 4 Hop IPA
Sweet aroma, almost like citronella. Very tart taste with an immediate rush of malt flavor. This then gives way to a nice fresh juicy hop flavor that’s not bitter at all. Very nice and drinkable. Amazing flavors for a 4.4% ABV beer. It doesn’t taste watered down or lacking at all.
5 out of 5 stars.
Surly Over Rated West Coast Style IPA
Slightly resinous hop flavor with a slightly bitter caramel malt sweetness. Lingering aftertaste that’s a mix between the two.
3 out of 5 stars.
Surly Xtra-Citra Pale Ale
Sweet aroma, crisp taste. Refreshing and crisp but not much malt presence.
4 out of 5 stars.
Toppling Goliath pseudoSue
Nice full sweet aroma. Flavorful hop sweetness with a time of bitterness. As hops fade, there’s a nice malt smoothness that tests on the palate. Very nice. From an Iowa brewery.
4.5 out of 5 stars.
Karben4 Dragon Flute
American Pale Ale from Wisconsin. Nice fruity hop aroma. Clean taste with fruity hop flavor present. No real bitterness. After hop sweetness fades, nice clean malt flavor.
4.5 out of 5 stars.
Toppling Goliath Dorothy
California common lager from Iowa. Slight sweetness followed by moderate malt flavor. Slight corn meal taste. No real hop presence. Nice, but not overly exciting.
4 out of 5 stars.
Grain Belt Premium
From a Minnesota brewery. No aroma. Flavor very not present. Clean malt taste comes in the aftertaste and lingers. Clearly the replacement for the missing MillerLite from the tap list.
3 out of 5 stars.
