Bottled 9/30/2024, drank on 11/2/2024. Fresh, bright hop aroma. Easy on the palate with no real hop bitterness. Flavor slowly builds to a smooth hop taste that dominates, along with nose full of hops on each drink. Heavy on hop flavors, but low on bitterness.
4 out of 5 stars.
Bright hop aroma. Sweet hop flavor that’s flat and dry on the palate. Yeast flavor lingers briefly but overall palate is left clean with just hints of smooth malt.
4 out of 5 stars.
Bright fruity hop aromas. Full flavored hop sweetness with a slight twang. Slight lingering bitterness somewhat like grapefruit.

Slightly sweet aroma. Broad palate of flavors, but finishes very clean and with no apparent bite from hops. Slightly sweet aftertaste lingers a bit, but overall tastes fairly light. Surprising this is a 6.8% beer.
4 out of 5 stars.
Nice aroma of bright hops. Smooth on the palate, but strong dank hop bitterness builds from back of palate. Becomes more rounded in hop flavor, but leaves lingering bitterness with some yeast flavor.

Almost no aroma, but with some searching, found a subtle hop fruitiness. Taste has a clean edge to it, clearing the palate, then leaning some mild hop taste with a bit of clean malt in the background.
Taste fills in better after the beer warms a little bit. There is also a slight soapy taste to it, but I just had another beer (NEIPA) just before it in this same glass with no hint of that.

Dark malt aroma, but not overpowering or sweet. Slightly crisp on the palate, but scatters in all directions without leaving a strong taste. Moderate dark malt taste in background with hints of light hops and a mild yeast taste.

Nice bready aroma of clean malt with some caramel notes in the background. Crisp, but not bitter, bite that gets washed out by some slightly sticky caramel sweetness. Finished with a slight lingering malt and yeast sweetness. A little too much residual sweetness.

Aroma of dark malt and hints of bourbon. Taste fairly smooth with a slight sweetness of peanut butter. Minor taste of bourbon throughout with slight lingering bourbon taste. A bit cloying sweet.
4 out of 5 stars.
Hop aroma is slightly pungent, but also green and fresh smelling. Slides onto the palate with a slight slipperiness, but immediately a hop bitterness edge comes cutting in. Hops fade, and then slowly a slightly sweet malt flavor starts to rise. Never gets too strong before subsiding and then gets mixed with hop flavor. Finishes very dry.
4 out of 5 stars.
