Sweet, almost dank hop aroma. Moderate sweet taste that seems a mix of hops and malt. Fairly sweet and smooth flavor combination of hops, malt, and yeast. Minor hop bitterness, but not overly hoppy. Fairly clean, but a tad too much clinging sweetness.
Sweet, dry aroma. Slightly crisp flavor bite quickly backfilled by a clean malt taste. Finishes slightly sweet, but clean. Best by 9/29/2016, and drank on 6/29, so still 3 months of life left.
Rich sweet hop aroma, but not too strong. Nice sharp hop bite with a strong malt flavor in the background. Finishes with a nice balance of hops and malt and minor hop flavors fading in the distance. Gives no hint of its big ABV. Label says 040514, but it’s May 9th. I got this as a gift from someone a little over a month ago, so I must have missed the best by date by a month. I wonder how it would be fresh.
4.5 out of 5 Stars.
