Harpoon Directors' Cut

Nice, moderately hoppy nose, with a touch of roasty behind it. Good blend of hops, roast, and a touch of combined bitterness.
Tasty, well brewed.

Troegs Scratch Beer Special Hops Ale

Pours a dark amber red, with a touch of lacy head. Smells of caramel and sweetness- not a lot of hop character.
First taste is sweet,.a bit of laying grain, but still not much hops.  The middle of the flavor us what differentiates this beer, making it passable, instead of meh. I would not buy.

Oh look- it's pre second morning nap cleaning time!
