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.

Not much aroma, but very nice fresh grainy taste. Very clean finish.

Nice strong hop, grainy aroma. Very good strong hop taste that hits the taste buds hard but quickly vanishes-like a hit and run driver. Slight aftertaste leaves you wanting another drink, and then your taste buds respond accordingly setting free the appropriate level of mouth-watering effect.

Flavorful, a bit sweet. Nice hop aftertaste where you can taste the hops but it’s clean and not harsh. Reliable quality.

Great fruity hop smell. Nice raw grainy taste with a slightly sweet aftertaste. Nice cloudy appearance. Very reliable to be delicious.

Wow, a Sam Adams beer that actually tastes like a craft beer! Initially, I was worried about the aroma because of a whole lot of nothing going on other than a faint sweet smell. The taste has a good hop flavor with a nice raw/grainy taste to it. A little bit of hop aftertaste. All in all, very nice other than the aroma.

Nice sharp aroma. Fairly significant bite on the taste buds with first drink. Taste is a little bit sweet with nice hoppy bite aftertaste.

Kind of yucky aroma like body odor, taste starts a bit harsh, but is immediately followed by a nice malt taste. Amazing after all that up front that there’s very little aftertaste. In the end, I’m not sure what to think. After a few more tastes, the malty aftertaste starts to be pretty nice.

IPA, but a bit harsh- very non-smooth. Not a real strong hop aroma either.

Usually pretty reliable as a good strong flavored IPA. A bit wet and smooth going down with a harsh hoppy aftertaste. On good bottles the aftertaste is nice, on average ones it leaves you a bit raw.
