Slight aroma of hops but also nice malt aroma. Clean, crisp flavor that’s a great mix of nice malt flavor and fresh hop flavors. Very nice balance, and not over the top with anything.
4.5 out of 5 stars.

Rogue 6 Hop IPA
Nice hefty sweet hop aroma. Crisp hop flavor bite, that ends up with a swirl of hop flavors, none of them overpowering. Finishes with a slight malt sweetness. Smooth.
4.5 out of 5 stars.
Batch Brewing Burlington Oat Factory
Sweet hop aroma. Very nice hop juiciness with a hint of caramel malts. Overall gives a smooth full mouthful of nice hop flavor, fading slowly to leave a creamy malt/hop/yeast flavor. Very nice.

Stone Ripper
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.

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.

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.

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.
