Bright, fruity hop aroma. Very sweet taste from yeast and the malt makes it very smooth, with no hop bite. Overall a bit too fruity and sweet for my tastes.

Short’s Double Psychedelic Cat Grass
Faint sweet hop aroma. Taste starts with a sharp hip edge, then turns really sweet with caramel malt, and finishes even sweeter almost like sugar and hops bitterness mixed together. Aftertaste is a lingering mild sweetness, but then a sourness creeps in at the end. Overall too harsh and sweet.

Lansing Brewing Joe in Black
Sweet dark malt aroma. Very watered down taste, smooth but a very notable void of flavors. Slight dark malt flavor in the background, but no perceivable hops. Very drinkable at 4.2%, but the overall lack of flavor kind of makes you feel like- why?

New Belgium Higher Plane IPA
Strong sweet aroma. Smooth taste without any hop bite. Thick sweetness on the palate with mild hop aftertaste lingering, with hints of alcohol.

Supernatural Brewing Altered States
Almost no aroma. Very little taste, a bit of caramel malt. Carbonation seems low, maybe they’re calling sure to quarantine, but not really carbonated canning. Might be a very different beer if well carbonated.

Old Nation B-43
Sweet aroma of hops, with a tropical twist. Smooth taste that quickly spreads across the palate. Slight hop bitterness that smooths out quickly and leaves you with a yeast taste. Further drinks seem to crispen the taste and leave the taste buds puckered.
After a few drinks, leaves a very distinct, salty aftertaste. Not a fan of that…

Collective Arts State of Mind
No aroma. Very tart taste, puckers the tastebuds. Very citrusy, immediately cleans the palate. Lingers with a bit of hop harshness.

Sierra Nevada Tropical Torpedo
Slight orange citrus aroma. Clean flavor, slightly smooth. No notable hop flavor, slight tangerine like flavor in aftertaste.

Short’s Chief Hopper
Overly sweet sticky aroma. Nice rounded hop and malt taste. Mostly taste the hops in the aftertaste, malt up front. Overly not very exciting.

Kickstand Center Stage Amber
Very roasty malt taste. Fairly clean taste, but too smoky for me.
