Slightly sharp, dry-ish hop aroma. Sharp, cutting hop taste but not too strong or harsh. Leaves you with a light malt taste mixed with a moderate hop flavor. Bottled 10/2/13, drank on 10/29/13. I noticed the ABV is about 1% higher than last year’s. Listed as 70 IBU, not sure about last year.

Heavy sweet aroma like honey. Very interesting flavor when hitting the mouth with a bit of honey sweetness, a very fruity taste, then a solid clean malt taste. Overall, very interesting and refreshing, almost light tasting- but not like a light beer. Quite unique, in a good way.

Slightly sweet aroma. Nice mild hop taste that blends in with a malty sweetness. Mild sweetness flavor lingers, drawing you back for another and another drink. Dangerous…

Slight hop aroma. Initial hop bite with a fresh taste. Hop flavor quickly fills your mouth and fades slowly while a hint of maltiness creeps in. Nice thick cloudiness that glows but you can’t see through.

Very nice sweet, strong hop aroma. Initial taste hits your palate like a nice strong stout with a big roasted malt flavor. Somehow in a kind of seamless transition the dark malt flavor it’s replaced by a clean hop flavor that fades out slowly. Very interesting flavor combination and trip through the taste buds.

Slight sweet smell. Nice even flavored hop flavor, with a nice malty hop flavor on the end. Leaves you with a slightly sweet, but clean taste. Flavorful, but not over the top.

Nice, very sweet hop aroma. Taste is very strong hop that is almost harsh but then the sweetness kicks in. Then has a bit of a grainy taste with aftertaste of sweet hops. Nice raw, graininess to it.

Nice fresh smell of hops. Nice crisp hop bite. Moderate strong hop aftertaste that’s nice.
