American India Pale Lager. Sweet hop aromas. Crisp bite of hops right away, gives way to a nice well blended malt flavor. Fades to a slightly harsh hop aftertaste. Overall a kind of light mouthfeel, but packed with strong flavors.
Faint raspberry aroma. Clean wheat taste with mild raspberry sweetness in the background. Very well balanced taste with wheat and raspberries balancing each other nicely. No artificial raspberry taste at all.
Slightly sweet, slightly rich aroma of dark malt. Complex flavor that dances around but never grows to a big giant taste. Leaves you with a slightly bready malt flavor that fades out smoothly.
Slightly sweet hop aroma. Fresh flavor bite with some harshness. Leaves the mouth with a crisp flavor with hoppy hints around the edges. Further drinks have much more floral hop aroma, as it warms slightly. Bottled on 5/13/2014, drank on 5/28/2014, so it’s very fresh.
No real aroma. Taste is a slightly sharp bite of malt and hops. Very malt forward with an accompaniment of hops rather than the other way around. Slight lingering of hops as aftertaste.
Rich sweet hop aroma, but not too strong. Nice sharp hop bite with a strong malt flavor in the background. Finishes with a nice balance of hops and malt and minor hop flavors fading in the distance. Gives no hint of its big ABV. Label says 040514, but it’s May 9th. I got this as a gift from someone a little over a month ago, so I must have missed the best by date by a month. I wonder how it would be fresh.
