What the brewers say

“Scents of melon and pineapple, and the juicy essence of strawberry and gooseberry.”

What our panel thought

“Dank and terpene-soaked, the hop character is buoyed by clean malt and a mild floral ester. The first impression is that the beer needs to be more bitter, but the slow build of the bitter finish convinces you soon enough.”

What our editors thought

“Modern, locker-room hop note in the nose with big sweaty tropical aromas. Clean and light in the flavor as those tropical notes are buffered by a simple but cogent, matte malt body. Like a billionaire in a hoodie, it downplays its wealth.”
