Strong sticky sweet hop aroma. Slightly sweet puckering flavor of his that fades into some yeast sweetness and mild malt flavor. A bit too sweet.

Paperback Santa Was a Werewolf
Sweet hop aroma, that fairly mild. Crisp taste that fades slowly to a mild malt and yeast taste.
3.5 out of 5 stars.
Dark Horse Plead the 5th
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.

Short’s Bellaire Brown
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.
3.5 out of 5 stars.
Odd Side Hoplicated
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.

Grand Traverse Brewing Glen Lake IPA
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.

Soulcraft Sticky Pils
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.

Three Floyds Lazer Snake
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.

New Holland Peanut Butter Poet
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.

Short’s Yoda’s Blend 2021
Bright, fresh hop aroma. Crisp bitter bite of hops, followed by a mouthful of hop flavor. The go flavor is somewhat harsh and seems to clash for my taste buds with the complex yeast.
