Beautiful fresh fruity hop aroma. Crisp bitterness hop bite, followed by a mild Carmel malt smoothness. Finishes with mild malt flavor, then lingering hop bitterness.
4.5 out of 5 stars.

Thick, sweet aroma with occasional breakthroughs of sharp citrus smells. Flavor streaks out all over the palate, with resiny bite of hops that sits pretty bitter before slowly fading to leave a mild malt and yeast taste. Interesting, but a bit too resiny for me.

New Belgium Higher Plane IPA
Strong sweet aroma. Smooth taste without any hop bite. Thick sweetness on the palate with mild hop aftertaste lingering, with hints of alcohol.

Stone Enjoy by 01.01.21
No real aroma. Slightly sweet taste, but very subdued. Not a bitter hop monster, and also doesn’t taste like a 9.4% beer. Shockingly not too much of anything.
3.5 out of 5 stars.
Short’s Double Psychedelic Cat Grass
Nice, broad, bright hop aroma. Taste has hop bite and then a mouthful of hop flavors and bitterness. Has a slight edge to the hoppiness, but not overpowering. Caramel malt sweetness in the background can be tasted in amongst the hop waves.
4.5 out of 5 stars.
Short’s The Liberator
Bright, strong hop aroma. Sharp biting bitterness, with a hint of caramel malt in the background. Full on hop bitterness assault that’s somehow still drinkable.
One month past the canning date, so still fresh.

Bell’s Hopslam Jan-2020
Nice strong sweet hop aroma. Nice hop flavor that doesn’t have a harsh bite. Full hop flavor and maltiness, that gives way to a robust caramel malt flavor. This slowly fades and is replaced by a broad hop flavor that lingers.
4.5 out of 5 stars.
Bell’s Hopsoulution Ale
Strong sweet aroma of hops. Fairly clean taste that’s a mix of caramel malt and a slight hop bite. No real bitterness detected.

Old Nation Boss Tweed
Bought at brewery on 5/6/2018, date on bottom says 5/1/2018. I hope that’s a born on date, not best by…
Beautiful sweet aroma. Smooth mouth feel that’s a great balance of hops and malt. Aftertaste is slight hop fruitiness and clean malt in background. Full flavored and smooth, but not overpowering.
5 out of 5 stars.
Short’s Superfluid
Nice hop aroma – sweet but not too strong, with a hint of fresh yeast smell. Nice full flavor that’s equal part hops, light malt, and yeast. Slight hop bitterness in the aftertaste.
4.5 out of 5 stars.
