I’ve had this before, but never made an official review. Reviewed here on 7/8/2020, bottled on 6/3/2020, so still fresh.
Notable aroma of hop bitterness and malt. Crisp bite of hop bitterness, decent malt flavor without caramel sweetness. Lingering hop bitterness that is notable but not overpowering. But still don’t venture here unless you definitely like hop bitterness!
Light sweetness of hop aroma and some yeast. Flavor is smooth and slides in with hop flavor, but no real bite. Aftertaste has a slight hop edge that lingers, as well as a faint hint of caramel malt sweetness. Refreshing.
Sweet aroma balance of yeast, hops, and mild caramel malt. Crisp taste of hops and malt in equal portions. Aftertaste is mostly one of caramel malt, but not overly sweet. Hop flavor comes in like a palate cleanser and sweeps most of the malt taste away.
Bright aroma of hops and a bit of yeast. Crisp flavor of hops, light malt, and a bit of yeast fill the palate full of flavors. Fades fairly quickly, then leaves just a lingering bitterness with a yeast complement in the background.
Nice strong sweet hop aroma. Nice hop flavor that doesn’t have a harsh bite. Full hop flavor and maltiness, that gives way to a robust caramel malt flavor. This slowly fades and is replaced by a broad hop flavor that lingers.
Dank hop aroma. Initial taste is hoppy in what I guess is “dank”. Not overly bitter, but lots of dank hop flavor that is quite intense. Not much aftertaste, which is impressive with as much hop flavor in the first taste. Quite flavorful. The ABV of 5.7% let’s you focus on the hop taste without being overwhelmed with maltiness.
Fresh smell of slightly fruity hops. Taste is clean and crisp with hop flavor not overly bitter or sweet. Can taste slightly sweet, drying yeast flavor. Finishes very dry with a mild malt sweetness and hop bitterness lingering in the background.
Clean, fresh aroma of hops with a bit if make sweetness. Crisp taste of hops which is immediately replaced with a caramel malt sweetness. Finishes evenly with a balance of malt sweetness and hops. Very clean, evenly balanced beer.
Sweet aroma of fresh hops. Slight hop bite that’s quickly followed by a mouthful of great floral/fruity hops. Very little aftertaste other than a lingering hop bitterness in the background and clean malt sweetness in the foreground.
4.5 out of 5 stars.
