Sweet hop aroma, almost sugary. Hop twang with a slight caramel malt backbone, and a slightly bitter hop edge in the aftertaste. This gives way to a flower hop flavor that them fades slowly.
4.5 out of 5 stars.

New Holland Mad Hatter
Almost no aroma, but with some searching, found a subtle hop fruitiness. Taste has a clean edge to it, clearing the palate, then leaning some mild hop taste with a bit of clean malt in the background.
Taste fills in better after the beer warms a little bit. There is also a slight soapy taste to it, but I just had another beer (NEIPA) just before it in this same glass with no hint of that.

Nice sweet, sticky hop aroma. Flavor is crisp with hops, then cuts sweet and slick like there is some rye lingering in there. Nice afterwards of some caramel malt sweetness, yeast, and moderate hop bitterness. Easy drinking and very flavorful.

Short’s Freedom of ’78
Packaged 4/26/2023, tasted on 5/26/2023.
Fresh aroma of flowery hops and smooth caramel malts. Flavor of hop bitterness is quickly squashed by a full-palate fruit flavor, that finishes slightly thick and sticky with some dry hop flavor lingering in the background. Your mouth recognizes it just had a full flavored beer, but there’s surprisingly little to no heaviness left in the mouth.
4.5 out of 5 stars.
Warpigs Lazurite IPA
