Sierra Nevada 12th Release Harvest Wet Hop Ale

Good fresh hop beer, lots of clean hoppiness- not up to following the Rogue though.

Rogue Independence Hop Ale

Wow! And amazing ale!
Quite delicious-lots of upfrint hoppy bitterness, no unpleasant aftertaste. Full, big mouthfeel-nice complexity to the flavour.

Battle Creek Fresh Hop Organic IPA

Nice red colour, healthy head. Flowery and skightly sweet. A decent but unremarkable IPA.

Rogue Morimoto Soba Ale

A crisp, pleasant beer with some mushroom aftertaste. Nicely hoppy, enjoyable, nioce bitterness, not much else to distunguish. Not a lot of character; probaly better with sushi than pizza.
