Boulevard Unfiltered Wheat won, Schlafly Summmer Lager got second and Kona Big Wave Golden Ale got the bronze. The Big Wave was the hoppiest of the the bunch but still wasn't very hoppy. Not many hop heads in the club, I guess.
I wouldn't say the Big Wave's hoppiness wasn't appreciated. In fact, that's what I wanted - I would declare myself a hop head. I voted for it to be last because it smelled like a beer I would enjoy but didn't deliver. The flavor profile didn't match the bouquet. I can't trust a beer like that. As far as the other 2 brews were concerned, I wasn't a fan of either really. The Schlafly is too light for my preference, which made the Boulevard winner for me by default.
