Crisp, bright aroma, with a mild malt sweetness. Clean taste, without much detectable hop flavors. Smooths out into nice broad light malt taste with a bit of crispness. Pleasant, but something I would fight someone over if it was the last one in the cooler.
4 out of 5 stars.
Sweet, strong resiny hop aroma. Very smooth taste with a solid light malt base and some yeast sweetness, with the hops playing more of a background role. Clean taste, with mild perkiness.

Sweet, resiny hop aroma. Crisp, but not biting flavor of hops balanced by a slight caramel malt taste. Leaves the palate clean, with hints of hops fading away into the background.

Sweet hop aroma, almost raw. Sweet taste that immediately transitions from the raw hop aroma to a smooth grapefruit-like taste, without the bite. Very smooth from a bitterness perspective, but a lot of different tastes lurking around the edges. Interesting.

Thin head that fizzles down quickly. I can smell the dark makes and spice aroma with the glass sitting a foot away from my nose. Aroma up close is not as strong as I would’ve thought- nice mellow dark malts. Full flavor, with a zing of cinnamon spice cutting through the dark malts, then quickly disappearing. Aftertaste is fairly mild dark malt. The 8.1% ABV is hidden well, with no detectable alcohol burn.
A little too complicated for my palate.

Muted hop aroma. Slight tang flavor at first, that traditions to a moderate malt flavor. Very slight malt and hops flavor lingers. Overall fairly smooth and not very hoppy for an IPA.

Faint fresh hop aroma. Slight tang on first taste, that mellows really quickly. Pretty smooth finish that leaves a mild hop aftertaste.

Strong alcohol smell along with a sticky sugary smell. Taste tweaks the taste buds then smooths quickly into a full palate dark malt flavor. Easy aftertaste with slight sweetness and a bit of dark malt. Fairly nice, surprisingly.

Faint floral aroma. First taste is crisp with a slight sweetness to it. Aftertaste has mild hop character that grows over time. Near zero carbonation- not sure if that’s intentional or a packaging flaw. It’s good that it’s only 4.3% ABV since it goes down so smooth.
Second can had slightly more carbonation. The increased carbonation helps perk this up.

Canned on 4/22/2020, this review done on 7/8/2020. Hops have a fruity and resinous aroma. Taste has notable caramel malt sweetness and clean bitterness in background. Finishes fairly clean with slight lingering of both the hop bitterness and caramel sweetness.
