“I really like this beer! Hops throughout—aroma, flavor and finish. Enough malt backbone to carry hop bitterness.”

“Nice, fruity flavors and appropriate hops for style. Could use more malt complexity with the addition of toasted malts.”

“Nice American barleywine; malt/hop balance needs a little work, otherwise enjoyable.”
