Dark, sweet, heavy malt aroma. Full coffee flavor that quickly subsides and leaves you with a full-out feel of sweetness. Slight lingering mix of dark malt sweetness and carbonation.

Ellison Relativity
Moderate hop citrus aroma, not too strong, balanced. Full mouth sweetness that comes in soft and ends resiny. Slight lingering sweetness of hops in aftertaste. No notable alchohol flavor, despite the 8.0% ABV. Aroma comes across much more balanced, but the flavor is pretty strong and resiny. This would be nice if it wasn’t so over the top with the resin flavor.

New Holland Hoptronix
Sweet citrusy hop aroma. Crisp flavor bite, but with a resiny flavor that has some alcohol heat detectable. Gets a bit smoother on further drinks and/or as beer slightly warms.
I typically like everything on the cold side, but this one definitely needs to warm a bit to blend the flavors better and kill the resiny alcohol bite.

Sawdust City Golden Beach Ale
Faint sweet smell of hops. Crisp bite of light hops and very light malt. Finishes with a slightly tangy yeast sweetness them a lingering hop sweetness.
As it warms a bit, clean malt taste starts to be more notable.
