Sticky sweet aroma, very thick smelling. Smooth hop taste slides into the pallet with a mild clean malt taste following it. Finishes with a very faint yeast sweetness and bit of hop bitterness.
5 out of 5 stars.

Sherwood Michigander Harvest IPA
Faint hop aroma. Fairly smooth flavor with a good malt base. Not much hop flavor, but it’s there, subdued. No real bitterness. Nice and easy drinking.
4 out of 5 stars.

Founders Harvest Ale 2013
Slightly sharp, dry-ish hop aroma. Sharp, cutting hop taste but not too strong or harsh. Leaves you with a light malt taste mixed with a moderate hop flavor. Bottled 10/2/13, drank on 10/29/13. I noticed the ABV is about 1% higher than last year’s. Listed as 70 IBU, not sure about last year.

Founders Harvest Ale 2012
Slightly sweet aroma with a hint of a hop bite. Taste is a fresh crispness of hops but quickly smooths and fades out gradually. Leaves with a mild hop aftertaste that’s not too harsh and not too mellow. Bottled on 10/4/12 and drank on 10/26/12, so pretty fresh from brewery to beer drinker.
4.5 out of 5 Stars.
Short’s Kind Ale
Fresh, slightly sweet hop aroma. Full mouth hoppy taste with a slight edge of harshness. Harshness fades and replaced with an overall nice hop flavor. Kind of like a 1-2 punch, where you prefer the ‘2’.
3.5 out of 5 Stars.
