Alma Mader Brewing Pacific Portal
What the brewers say
“Heavily hopped with Oregon-grown Strata and Washington-grown Citra, Mosaic, Simcoe.”
What our panel thought
“Pine and subtle orange notes in the aroma. Diesel in the flavor, with a softer orange underneath. Bright, clean bitterness slowly fades with the pine lingering. Malt backbone is heavier but needed, given the heavy hopping.”
What our editors thought
“Bright tropical guava and lychee notes with a touch of clean sulfur in the aroma. Medium tropical fruit-pith bitterness balances the sweet malt in the sip without dulling the bright tropical fruit highlights.”
