I found this to be an excellent beer. Some malt flavours up front, a nice firm bitterness in the middle, and a pretty strong cracker finish.

Re: Beer #15
Nice hop character on the nose, although maybe not as big as you’d expect from the style. I like the level of bitterness in this despite it maybe not being consistent with the New England style. Hop character is slightly dank and piney and I would describe it as "deep" rather than "forward". I wonder whether that's the influence of mash and first wort hopping vs dry hopping. I know the science suggests all the volatiles added before the wort cools to 83ºC or so are aerosolized and lost, but there's definitely an aspect to the hop character of this beer that's not the late cascade additions.
This was a nice light but hoppy beer for a Saturday afternoon. Thanks Sandy!

Re: Beer #15
pretty easy drinking and sessionable beer. Went down pretty fast
"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.
