Dank aroma, almost like a stinky gym shoe. No bitterness in first drink. Transitions fairly smoothly to an even, moderate hop flavor with a mild malt aftertaste. Very easy on the hops for an IPA.
Aroma is rich with dark malt sweetness. Taste starts a little slippery and harsh, then on the back end smooths out to a broad roasted malt taste. Not a great combination. Would like more of the second, less of the first.
Smell of slightly dark, sweet malts. Taste is crisp and then malt sweetness rushes in. Finishes very dry, with hints of dark malts lingering in the back of the mouth.
Strong citrus hop aroma. Taste is very fruity, almost like a bitter orange juice. Strong sweet yeast flavor with full hop flavor, which drops down very quickly, and then leaves a mild lingering juice flavor.
Strong aroma of fresh, green hops. Taste is a mix of hops and caramel malt. A bit to strong on the caramel malt for my taste. Finishes fairly clean/dry with lingering mix of caramel malt and green hop taste.
Fresh hop aroma, somewhat grassy. Crisp bite that mellows quickly and leaves a slightly wine grape like flavor from the yeast. Refreshing and light, with a slightly sweet overtone.
Sweet aroma of hops with a slight raw/green edge to it. Tastes like a bunch of raw hops, with a bit of yeast/malt sweetness in the background. The chaos subsides quickly and leaves a fairly clean lingering hop bitterness.
Canned on 10/11/2021, tasted on 1/15/2022. Aroma is slightly sharp and dry, almost like roasted peanut shells. Interesting complex flavor balancing a sweet, dark, 10% ABV Stout, and a complex nutty taste.
Maybe a bit too much alcohol heat and peanut flavor for my palate.
3.5 out of 5 stars.
