Nice even smell of dark malts, but not sweet. Clean crisp taste, that spreads out across the palate smoothly delivering waves of dark malts. Hops remain in background just to cut off any lingering malt flavors. Very clean and drinkable.
Sweet aroma of hops and yeast. Taste is smooth and sweet, with a hint of dark malt flavor. Aftertaste is mix of dark malt and yeast sweetness, with a hint of fruity hops way in the background.
Date on bottom of can is 9/22/20, drinking on 4/10/2021, so it’s a bit past prime. Maybe fresher would have more hop presence.
Faint sweet wheat aroma. First taste is soft and wheaty, with a sweet wit taste. Finishes with a slight hop uptick to cut off the sweetness and finish fairly cleanly.
Slightly sweet, raw, fresh grainy smell. Taste is sweet and sharp with hoppiness that wakes up the taste buds then quickly sneaks away leaving a fresh grain taste in the mouth with a hint of raw hop flavor. Very sharp and delicious.
Strong sweet hop smell. Slightly harsh, strong sweet flavor. Can taste the high alcohol bite them fades into a nice hoppy aftertaste that lingers nicely. Bottle says 114 IBU.
4 out of 5 Stars.
