No aroma. Very smooth, slightly sweet taste with a good hop taste. Very nice aftertaste that fades out smoothly with hoppiness.

Arbor Brewing Buzzsaw
Sharp, sweet hop aroma. Great very strong hop taste that wages full assault on the taste buds. Hop taste fades our from being super strong to just regular strong and lingers from there. Very strong full-flavored hoppiness throughout that’s a pure joy.

New Belgium Ranger
Delicious sweet fresh hop aroma. Very broad, “wet” taste of hops. Fairly strong hop flavor, but not crisp, so fades out smoothly and quickly, leaving a nice mild fresh hop flavor. Very nice. Feels like you’re drinking it fresh from a brewery out in a field of fresh growing hops. Date on bottle suggests to consume by 16-Dec-2012, drank it on 2-Sep-2012.

Arcadia Barrel Aged Shipwreck Porter
Awesome sweet taste that’s smooth and delicious. Goes down nicely for such a strong beer. The bourbon barrel gives it a nice aroma, but not too strong. The red wax top had a cool look, but was horridly impractical- to the point of being dangerous. Having to cut that thing off while sober is a challenge. Having to do it with a beer our two in me, I’m surprised I didn’t walk away from it with a knife stuck in my hand.

Lagunitas Undercover Shutdown Ale
Sharp, hoppy, slightly sweet aroma. Full flavored, but not as much as the aroma would lead you to believe. Finishes smooth and sweet with a hint of hops. Very nice combination overall with a nice balance between hops and sweetness.

New Holland Mad Hatter
Slight sweet smell. Great strong grainy hops taste. Finishes crisp with a clean biting hop aftertaste that slowly fades. Very nice. Had this one on draft at the brewery.

Bell’s Two Hearted
Nice clean smell with very little aroma. Nice sharp hop bite that’s not too strong and quickly rounds the corner to a bit of a sweet flavor with a hop hint. Very nice and refreshing.

Short’s Hopstache
Moderate sweet, clean aroma. Nice sharp hop bite that immediately smacks into a strong sweetness that brings on the saliva glands. Leaves you with a strong freshness of hops with a hint of grapefruit sourness. Excellent beer.

Dogfish Head 90 Minute Imperial IPA
Nice mild hoppy aroma. Good full-flavored hoppy taste that gets the saliva flowing. Nice moderate hoppy aftertaste that fades nicely. Great hop taste, but very well balanced.
