Nice hefty sweet hop aroma. Crisp hop flavor bite, that ends up with a swirl of hop flavors, none of them overpowering. Finishes with a slight malt sweetness. Smooth.
4.5 out of 5 stars.

Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA
Sweet assume of his and yeast. Crisp flavor with hops and a nice malt taste with a hint of caramel malt and yeast. Very good balance of malt and hops with a nice yeast flavor.
4.5 out of 5 stars.
Stone Ripper
Nice clean crisp hop aroma. Slightly sweet hop taste immediately backfilled by a nice malty Munich malt flavor. Great hop aromas and nice malty tasty smoothness. Almost like two different beer personalities.
4.5 out of 5 stars.
North Peak Stormy Oat IPA
Nice full sweet hop aroma. Sweet, almost puckeringly crisp hop taste that quickly smooths. Full, bright flavor with a hint of residual hop bitterness. I don’t detect any oat smooth mouthfeel effect, but I sampled this pretty cold.
4.5 out of 5 stars.
Kickstand Deralia IPA
No aroma. Slightly bitter taste. Not harsh, but a bit medicinal-like. Finishes clean, but with a lingering hop bitterness.
3.5 out of 5 stars.
Rockford Paradigm MPA
Nice thick frothy head. Flavor is even mix of malt (caramel mostly) and hops. A bit too much caramel hops, almost smoky flavor. Lingering hop bitterness, slightly harsh.
Have had this before and I really enjoyed it. Maybe the caramel makes were less pronounced.

Old Nation M43 Juicy IPA
Nice mild sweet aroma. Smooth mouthfeel with a nice tropical fruit hop flavor. Mild malt and hops aroma lingers. Very awesome!

Beautiful aroma of hops. Nice complex hop flavor, nothing harsh. Creamy, smooth mouthfeel, leaving hops flavor lingering. Very flavorful but not harsh at all. Again, I have to note how awesome it smells!
5 out of 5 stars.
New Belgium Citradelic
Faint sweet aroma. Crisp bite, clean flavor, slight malt flavor in aftertaste with a mild fruit sweetness. Refreshing and mouthful of flavor.
4.5 out of 5 stars.
Sam Adams Rebel Grapefruit IPA
Sweet aroma of hops and hint of grapefruit. Taste is hop bite, maybe some grapefruit flavor mixed in. Aftertaste slightly harsh mix of malt and hops leftovers. I don’t think the grapefruit really adds much to the party.
3.5 out of 5 stars.
