Sweet strong hop aroma. Crisp sweet taste of hops with a nice tanginess. Hop bite fades to well rounded light make taste. Very nice.

Rockford Hoplust
Faint sweet hop aroma. Full flavor of malt sweetness and hops combined. Very strongly balanced of both, slight aftertaste of smooth malt.
4.5 out of 5 stars
Arbor Brewing Buzzsaw IPA
Nice floral aroma of hops. Crisp flavor bite that ignites taste buds and gets the mouth watering. Very hop flavorful, but not bitter at all. Hop flavor gives way to nice rounded malt flavor and finishes with a mild taste of both the hops and malt.
4.5 out of 5 stars.
Cigar City Jai Alai
Fresh sweet hop aroma that’s slightly citrusy but very floral. Crisp bite of hops that’s full of flavor that’s strong but not harsh at all. Very smooth finish with hints of a smooth malt character and very little lingering bitterness.
5 out of 5 stars.
Odd Side Alpha Beta
Fresh slightly citrusy hop aroma. Full mouth sweetness with a slightly sharp hop bite at the beginning that quickly fades into broad hop flavor blast, but trails off without leaving an aftertaste and finishes quite clean.
4.5 out of 5 stars.
Russian River Pliny the Elder
Slightly spicy aroma. Slightly alcohol-y in aroma, but nice malt in the background. Very clean, slightly sharp taste. A bit sweet with a sharp aftertaste of hops that fades.
5 out of 5 stars.
Sierra Nevada Hop Bullet
Strong sweet syrupy aroma. Crisp fresh bite of hop bitterness and yeast. Clean and refreshing, but not in a “Gatorade” sort of way. Good full flavor of hops but no lingering bitterness. Aftertaste is one of mild malt and a bit of yeast.

Odd Side Ales Diggity Dank Juice
Faint sweet aroma. Almost puckering, almost sharp sweet flavor. Gets very smooth and any sharpness subdues and leaves you with a mild lingering sweetness. Combination of grapefruit and pineapple flavor in the hop bitterness. Interesting.

New Holland Tangerine Space Machine
Nice strong citrus aroma. Taste is a mouthful of nice via flavors, not too sharp. Finish is quite fruity almost like fruit loops. Nice, but not sure if I could do more than one.
4 out of 5 stars.
Odd Side Ales Mango Peach Dank Juice
Slightly stake fruit aroma (although since canned on 12/11/2017 and drank on 12/28/2017 it’s definitely fresh). Sweet fruit mouthfeel and taste. Which fades and is replaced by a clean malt taste. Hop bitterness equally matched by sweetness and nicely finished with a soft clean malt taste.
4.5 out of 5 stars.
