Sweet almost yeasty smell. Very sharp and clean hops bite. Fades out evenly to leave a mild hops aftertaste. Very refreshing and clean.

Slight sweet smell. Great strong grainy hops taste. Finishes crisp with a clean biting hop aftertaste that slowly fades. Very nice. Had this one on draft at the brewery.

Bell’s Two Hearted
Nice clean smell with very little aroma. Nice sharp hop bite that’s not too strong and quickly rounds the corner to a bit of a sweet flavor with a hop hint. Very nice and refreshing.

Short’s Huma Lupa Licious
Nice hoppy aroma. Good strong hop taste with a harsh bite and then clean drop off of taste. Nice flavor if you like hops.

Victory Hop Wallop Ale
Slightly sweet, slightly hoppy aroma- neither too strong. Taste is very hoppy with a sweet tinge. Lingering slightly harsh hop taste, but not too offensive.

Short’s Hopstache
Moderate sweet, clean aroma. Nice sharp hop bite that immediately smacks into a strong sweetness that brings on the saliva glands. Leaves you with a strong freshness of hops with a hint of grapefruit sourness. Excellent beer.

Southern Tier Un*earthly
Very sweet aroma. Initial taste is a bit hoppy, but not too strong. Has a slight bite that gives you a hint of the high ABV, but is quickly followed by the sweetness and finishes with a mix of sweetness and hops. May leave some with too much sweetness, but for me is quite nice. I found this in oaked form and that was amazing.

Lagunitas Hop Stoopid
A great beer. Very hoppy, as the name implies. Nice raw, fresh, hoppy aroma, then a full frontal hop attack in the mouth. Finishes with a strong hop aftertaste, that takes its time fading out. Very reliable when you want a refreshing, hoppy drink.
