Aroma is funky, lemony, vanilla, woody. Taste is mildly sour, fairly sweet, with some real hop bitterness. Good carbonation but it still seems a little thin and watery. The aroma is more interesting than the flavor.

Aroma is nutty, wet river rock, toffee, dark bread, black pepper. Taste has a moderate roasted malt sweetness with some hop bitterness in the background. They really nailed the Englishness character.

Aroma is bready, crackery, peppery. Taste has a moderate herbal bitterness with light bready malt influence. Herbal noble hop flavors mix with citrusy New World hops to create an interesting mix.

Aroma has notes of cantaloupe, toasted bread, flowers, grapefruit, tangerine, crackery malt. Taste is highly bitter backed by significant malt sweetness. An old school DIPA.

Aroma has notes of orange peel, grain, maybe granola. Taste has a light bitterness backed by mild sweetness. Crisp, clean, and refreshing with flavors of citrusy hops and a hint of granola.

Aroma is skunked to the max. Also like really dank green bud. There was a time when I would have mocked a beer smelling like this and immediately poured it down the drain, but it’s hitting all the right nostalgia buttons at the moment. Taste is light and crisp and inoffensive. Thin and watery, as expected.
