Clean crisp aroma of hops and a bit of yeast sweetness. First taste slices through the palate cleanly with a hoppy edge and mild caramel malt sweetness right behind it. Finishes cleanly with a nice yeast flavor showing up, again supported by hop bitterness and mild caramel malt. Amazing flavor balance of all three with a full flavor punch that somehow doesn’t feel too heavy.

Nice clean aroma of bitter hops. Crisp hop bitterness on front of palate work a cleansing attack. Mike caramel malt hidden in background behind layers of hop flavor and bitterness. Lingering hip bitterness intermixed with a slight yeast twang. Superb.

Fresh hop aroma, somewhat grassy. Crisp bite that mellows quickly and leaves a slightly wine grape like flavor from the yeast. Refreshing and light, with a slightly sweet overtone.
3.5 out of 5 stars.
Thick dark malt aroma. Full flavor of dark malt, but with a crispness to it instead of a sweetness. Flavorful dance of hops and dark malt, never wore sure which one is taking lead. His contribute a nice clean bitterness, not fruity at all. Very inspiring.

Phenomenal carbonation, glad it’s a giant stream of steady little bubbles everywhere. Sweet aroma of nice stone fruit hops. Taste is sweet, almost puckering, with juicy hop flavor. Slight drying on the palate from the yeast on the back end, then leaves mouth fairly dry with just a hint of hops in background.

Sweet aroma of caramel malts. Slightly crisp bite with good mix of hops and dark/caramel malts. Sweeps the palate clean and leaves a slight lingering version of the initial taste. Overall, super tasty.

Sweet aroma of resinous hops and caramel malt. Crisp taste with a great balance of hop bite and caramel malt flavor. These two work together in perfect balance to be strong flavored of both, but neither overpowering. Spectacular.

Aroma of bright floral hops, with a mild malt sweetness in the background. Slightly crisp taste, followed by creamy yeast flavor, and ending with light floral hop taste that lingers and fades smoothly. Refreshing.

Sweet aroma of resinous hops. Crisp flavor bite of yeast and hops. Aftertaste is slightly juicy and finishes fairly clean with a mix of yeast and light malt flavor.

Strong aroma of sweet malt, and resinous hops. Taste is slightly sweet, almost fruity. Thick resin flavor comes in, along with a hop bite. Hints of the 9% alcohol in subsequent drinks. Very flavorful, but not overpowering like most Imperial IPA are.
4.5 out of 5 stars.
