Faint fresh hop aroma. Slight tang on first taste, that mellows really quickly. Pretty smooth finish that leaves a mild hop aftertaste.

Toppling Goliath Pseudo Sue Galaxy Dry Hop
Bright sweet hop aroma. Crisp bite of hops which transitions to full-mouth raw hop taste, then smooths into sweetness of yeast and clean malt. Super flavorful.

Ellison 97.1 The Ticket DDH Hazy Pale Ale
Fresh floral hop aromas with a sweet yeast tinge. Flavor is super smooth, with a full taste bud awakening, but no harsh or bitter aspects. Hops are subdued and you can detect a hint of clean maltiness, which you can’t typically detect in hazy IPAs. Very refreshing and smooth.
I first came across this on draft several months ago and feel in love. I haven’t seen it in cans/bottles until just recently.

Cigar City Guayabera
Fresh hop aroma. Crisp hop bite that immediately softens to a full flavor of fresh hops. Mike malt taste in background. Amazing job of such a strong hop punch to not be overpowering, and still have a detectable malt presence.

Short’s Space Rock Aug-2018
Fresh sweet aroma that’s a nice even mix of hops and malt. Crisp hop bite that’s slightly fruity, but has a bitter edge to it. Full mouth flavor. Slightly bitter hop aftertaste lingers together with a nice bready malt flavor. Malt flavor dissipates, then hop bitterness slowly fades away.
5 out of 5 stars.
