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.

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.

Short’s Humongous Huma
Got this as part of a Hoppy Christmas mix pack in 2021.
Great fresh hop aroma with hints of yeast, reminiscent of Huma Lupa. Flavor is sharp and sweet, with a slightly ragged edge on the back end, followed by strong caramel malt sweetness. Too sweet and bitter for my tastes.

Victory Dirtwolf
Thick, sweet aroma with occasional breakthroughs of sharp citrus smells. Flavor streaks out all over the palate, with resiny bite of hops that sits pretty bitter before slowly fading to leave a mild malt and yeast taste. Interesting, but a bit too resiny for me.
Best by Jun 23 2021, drank on 4/11/2021.

Founders Big Luscious
Tart cherry aroma, like cough syrup. Taste is very sweet, but no bite from dark malt. Super sweet. Need to let this warm up to see if the character changes…
Warmer is mellower on the raspberry. But still super sweet and cloying.
