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.

Awesome big floral hoppy smell. Good bite of hops and malt that fades out to a slight malt aftertaste that fades out quickly. Tastes like a great hoppy IPA and a good porter merged together. Works very well together.

Moderately sweet hop aroma. Very full flavored sharp hop taste. Leaves pretty cleanly, leaving faint fresh hop flavors lingering.

Harsh sweet smell with a bite. Very nice malty taste with very little hops taste. Very full of flavor for a low alcohol beer, though. Slightly hoppy aftertaste with a malt undertone.
Bottled on 10/30/13, drank on 1/17/14, 2.5 months old.

Sweet smell with a slightly sour lager aroma. Very strong initial hop taste, but mellows very quickly. Immediately replaced my a light malt flavor then fades out smoothly leaving just vacant hints of malt and hops.
