Bright, strong hop aroma. Sharp biting bitterness, with a hint of caramel malt in the background. Full on hop bitterness assault that’s somehow still drinkable.
One month past the canning date, so still fresh.
5 out of 5 stars.

Short’s Pure Michigan Autumn IPA
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.
4 out of 5 stars.
Short’s Local’s Light
Faint sweet aroma, like fresh corn. Taste is slightly sweet with a quick sharpness to it of some non descript hop which quickly transitions to a smooth clean malt flavor. Very nice for this style. Not my favorite style (light lager), butt very solid.
4.5 out of 5 stars.
Short’s Heaven Scent
Sticky sweet aroma, very thick smelling. Smooth hop taste slides into the pallet with a mild clean malt taste following it. Finishes with a very faint yeast sweetness and bit of hop bitterness.
5 out of 5 stars.
Short’s Most Excellent Stellar
Bright and sticky hop aroma. Taste is a mix of caramel malt and slightly edgy hop bitterness. Aftertaste seems mild in comparison, with lingering alcohol-tinged maltiness and hop bitterness.
4.5 out of 5 stars.
Short’s Fruitasia
Super fruity aroma, strong juice and hops smell. Slightly puckering sweetness like grapefruit juice, with orange-y flavors on back end. No malt presence, very little carbonation. Smooth, yet puckering, combined with during fruit flavors.
3.5 out of 5 stars.
Short’s Lil’ Huma
Light sweetness of hop aroma and some yeast. Flavor is smooth and slides in with hop flavor, but no real bite. Aftertaste has a slight hop edge that lingers, as well as a faint hint of caramel malt sweetness. Refreshing.
4.5 out of 5 stars.
Short’s Furry Buddy
Light sweet aroma of dark malt. Taste is crisp and clean, with a very light dark malt aftertaste. Refreshing and crisp. Flavorful, yet light.
4.5 out of 5 stars.
Short’s Devil’s Lettuce
Dank hop aroma. Initial taste is hoppy in what I guess is “dank”. Not overly bitter, but lots of dank hop flavor that is quite intense. Not much aftertaste, which is impressive with as much hop flavor in the first taste. Quite flavorful. The ABV of 5.7% let’s you focus on the hop taste without being overwhelmed with maltiness.
4.5 out of 5 stars.
Short’s Psychedelic Cat Grass
Sweet aroma of fresh hops. Slight hop bite that’s quickly followed by a mouthful of great floral/fruity hops. Very little aftertaste other than a lingering hop bitterness in the background and clean malt sweetness in the foreground.
