Clean aroma is a mix of yeast and light malt. First taste gives a tart bite of hops, quickly followed by a full flavored hop mouthfeel.

American India Pale Lager. Sweet hop aromas. Crisp bite of hops right away, gives way to a nice well blended malt flavor. Fades to a slightly harsh hop aftertaste. Overall a kind of light mouthfeel, but packed with strong flavors.

Clean dark malt aroma like a stout. Slightly sweet, crisp flavor of dark malt and carbonation. No real hop presence to speak of, perhaps some hiding in the background behind the malt aftertaste that slowly fades away. Seems to slightly mellow the dark malt bite. Very full flavor for a session ale.

Slightly spicy aroma with a bit of fruit and clear wheat smell. Taste is immediately a soft wheat flavor with a yeast sweetness and a mix of fruit and wheat aftertaste that lingers.

Very sweet hop smell, almost smells sticky. Intense hop and malt flavor greets you then quickly fades to a mild hop taste then lingers there for a long time. You can taste the grapefruit, but it’s a bit excessive, the regular Hopstache is better balanced to my palate.

Sweet, slightly hoppy aroma. Almost smells like a sweaty armpit- but somehow not in an offensive way. Mouthful of hop sharpness and dark malt blackness. Not sure of the hop used, but this malt flavor would be delicious with a more citrusy type of hop. Leaves you with a slight malt aftertaste. Beer is much tastier after it warms a bit to around 40, rather than the 35 right out of the fridge. The hops and malt seem to balance much better slightly warmer.

Faint, dry, hops aroma. Slightly sweet hop bite with a nice mellow malt taste right there with it. Finishes with a back and forth mixing of the malt and hops kind of fighting over who’s going to lead. Warming a bit seems to tame the sharpness of the hop bite and leave more malty aftertaste.

Faint dark malt aroma with a bit of sweetness. Dark malt flavor with mild coffee background. Finishes slightly sweet but leaves little aftertaste.
