Nice clean crisp hop aroma. Slightly sweet hop taste immediately backfilled by a nice malty Munich malt flavor. Great hop aromas and nice malty tasty smoothness. Almost like two different beer personalities.
4.5 out of 5 stars.

North Peak Stormy Oat IPA
Nice full sweet hop aroma. Sweet, almost puckeringly crisp hop taste that quickly smooths. Full, bright flavor with a hint of residual hop bitterness. I don’t detect any oat smooth mouthfeel effect, but I sampled this pretty cold.
4.5 out of 5 stars.
Kickstand Pontoon Pale Ale
Very nice malt taste. Moderate hop bite comes in toward end.
4.5 out of 5 stars.
Short’s Space Rock
Sweet hop aroma. Refreshing taste of hops and malt, nice crisp bite. Hop bitterness fades slowly and is then replaced by a nice even malt taste. Based on bottling date, this one is only 3 weeks old. Very good balanced and full flavor.
4.5 out of 5 stars.
New Belgium Citradelic
Faint sweet aroma. Crisp bite, clean flavor, slight malt flavor in aftertaste with a mild fruit sweetness. Refreshing and mouthful of flavor.
4.5 out of 5 stars.
Short’s Aww Jeah
Sweet hop aroma. Sharp, strong hop bitter flavor. Mellows slightly, just enough for some malt flavor to peek in, but still a full symphony of hop flavor. Mixed hop bitterness aftertaste lingers, but pleasant, not harsh.
4.5 out of 5 stars.
Founders Dirty Bastard
Slight sweet smell of dark malts. Fairly crisp taste, but fairly light. Nice smooth dark malt taste in aftertaste.

Sherwood Abbeyversary 10 Ale
Faint sweet aroma. Very smooth sweet taste. This is a 10% ABV ale but it gets you so smoothly. Very nice. Slight alcohol heart in the aftertaste.
4.5 out of 5 stars.
Sherwood 1492 IPA

Fresh sharp hop aroma. Crisp, clean hop taste with a bit of caramel malt flavor, but overall lots of hop flavor shining through with a minor hop aftertaste.
