12 West Brewing Company Radial Spines
What the brewers say
“Hoppy, American-style lager with Citra and Mosaic hops.”
What our panel thought
“In the aroma, spicy herbal notes, barely-there fennel, floral notes, sweet pea flowers, slight lime zest, red berry. Lemony hop notes are punchy up front and allow a slight resinous pine quality to round out the finish. White-bread malty sweetness balances the hops. Luscious, medium body. Finishes perfectly balanced, inviting the next sip.”
What our editors thought
“Tropical floral notes with round orange and orange zest. Strong aromas, buffed with a matte patina. Cool and crisp in the sip, more lime than orange, with an express restraint.”
