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.

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.
Short’s Aww Jeah
Sweet hop aroma. Sharp, strong hop bitter flavor. Mellows slightly, just enough for some malt flavor to peek in, but still a full symphony of hop flavor. Mixed hop bitterness aftertaste lingers, but pleasant, not harsh.
4.5 out of 5 stars.
Short’s Superfluid
Nice strong sweet hop aroma. Refreshing crisp hop bite that’s quite juicy, and then almost honey-like. Finishes with a nice clean grain flavor with a honey flavor. Very slight hop lingering at the end. Very refreshing and really excites multiple taste buds.
There was a noticeable layer of particulate inside the bottle, which I swirled up and poured into my glass while pouring it.

Short’s Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster
Nice sweet hop aroma. Fresh hop sweetness, fairly smooth with a slight edge. Mild lingering hop flavor, that transitions to a nice clean grain flavor. Very good.
5 out of 5 stars.
Founders Re Dank Ulous
Nice aroma mix of hop bitterness and some sweetness. Taste is even-handed with a gold balance of hops and sweet malt. Finishes slightly crisp with an intertwining of hop bitterness and malt sweetness- neither one too powerful.

Milwaukee Brewing Hop Freak
Faintly sweet aroma. Full flavor sweetness with a slight harsh edge. I suppose I can taste some herbal tea flavors on there. Somewhat resinous aftertaste that fades out.

Stone Enjoy By 04.20.16
Says bottled on 3/14/16 so it’s amazing the freshness expected, with just a little over a month shelf life. Nice aroma of fresh, sharp hops. Crisp hop bite with a bit of a sweet aftertaste that’s a bit tangy. If “dank” means halfway between resinous and fruity, that’s how I’d describe this.
4.5 Out of 5 stars.
Roak Blow Your Face Out
Very nice strong hop aroma. Full mouth flavor of slightly sharp, slightly sweet hop flavor. Aftertaste is very strong hop resinous flavor, with a kind of grapefruit tartness that lingers.
3.5 Out of 5 Stars.
Bell’s Mars
Strong sweet aroma. Full flavored sweetness very reminiscent of Hopslam, but without the hint of honey sweetness. Hop harshness mixed with a malt sweetness that leaves a slightly harsh hop aftertaste. Can taste hints of the high alcohol mixed in there.
