Sweet, dry aroma. Slightly crisp flavor bite quickly backfilled by a clean malt taste. Finishes slightly sweet, but clean. Best by 9/29/2016, and drank on 6/29, so still 3 months of life left.
4 out of 5 stars.

Karben4 Fantasy Factory
Slightly sharp hop aroma. Slight hop bite followed by nice malty flavor with some caramel sweetness lingering. Refreshing, although the sharp hop bite and full malt flavor seen a bit like two competing radios at high volume. One or the other turned down a bit would be nice.

New Holland Dragon’s Milk Reserve with Raspberries
Nice clean aroma with a hint of raspberries. Slight edge of bourbon flavor that gets replaced by dark malt, and then a nice raspberry flavor comes in. Overall very balanced 3-way tug-of-war going on between bourbon, dark malt, and raspberries. You can feel the alcohol heart in the aftertaste, slightly lingering in the back of the throat. I think I would like it more of there were less bourbon presence, and it was just the dark malt and raspberries commingling.
Bottled 10/06/15, drank 11/17/15.

Filling Station Walla Walla IPA
