Sweet aroma of bright, fruity hops. Nice moderate hop bite that transitions to a blend of hops and yeast flavors. Finishes fairly crisp with lingering hop flavors on the roof of the mouth.
Strong sweet aroma of hops like ripe fruit. Chunky fruit flavor hits the palate and then a mix of malt and stone fruit hop flavor. Aftertaste is an even mix of hops, malt, and a bit of yeast.
Faint aroma of hops and a bit of caramel malt. Slightly crisp hop bite that quickly fades and a wave of caramel malt comes in. Next comes a good clean malt taste that is fairly balanced, finishes clean. Wonder how the hop flavors might change if fresher.
No big alcohol presence, surprising it’s 9.5% ABV.
Bright hop aroma with some resin aspect. Flavor is a mix of moderate hops and a bit of malt. Finishes with mixture of hop flavors to a final lingering hop aftertaste that’s slightly raw/greens.
Delicious dark malt aroma that dances around the line of overly sweet/boozy and nicely balanced. Varied flavor on the palate of dark malts and yeast sweetness. Finishes fairly clean, but with brief flavor of dark malt. So flavorful, that’s strong, but just inches back from the borderline of being too much.
Bright flowery hop aromas. Crisp bite on first drink, softens, them replaced by flavorful hop expressions. A little bit of malt and yeast in aftertaste, but finished fairly cleanly.
Bright, fresh aroma of hops, with a little bit of pine/resin. Slightly crisp hop bite on the palate that spreads out broadly to give tastes of both hops and malt. Full flavored, but not too bitter. Hops aftertaste lingers, then fades slowly.
Spicy, sharp, dark malt aroma with an alcohol aroma. Taste is very broad across the palate with a sweet softness. Finishes pretty clean with a slight malty sweetness. Slight hint of dark chocolate in the aftertaste, but not bitter or sweet, just kinda roasty.
4.5 out of 5 stars.
