Nice fresh, slightly sweet hop smell. Full crisp hop sweetness that fades out and just leaves the slight sweetness. In the end you can almost taste the battle waging between a mild hop taste and a clean water taste. Not in a watered down light beer way, but you can tell it’s a lower alcohol version.
Strong sweet hop smell. Slightly harsh, strong sweet flavor. Can taste the high alcohol bite them fades into a nice hoppy aftertaste that lingers nicely. Bottle says 114 IBU.
Faint sweet dark malt aroma. Full mouth sweetness that gets replaced quickly by a dark malt taste that fades out smoothly. Leaves a faint sweetness lingering.
Slight smoky dark malt smell. Sweet dark malt taste that’s obviously present, but not too overpowering. Very little aftertaste other than a hint of dark maltiness. Very well balanced with a good taste that’s kept nicely at bay.
Very sweet smell that’s a mix of maltiness and strong hops. Flavor is a huge burst of sweet malt quickly followed by a nice grainy hop bite. Leaves a lingering sweet hoppiness.
Dark sweet smell. Nice strong fruity hop flavor. Sweetness fades quickly and leaves a nice hop flavor. Eventually that fades and you’re left with a clean dark malt flavor like a good dry stout. Very nice but almost a bit too complicated combination of flavors.
4 out of 5 Stars.
