Alvarado Street Brewery Southern Hemi

What the brewers say

“Nelson Sauvin, Riwaka, Waimea, NZ Cascade, Manilita deliver tropical diesel, sweet fruit.”

What our panel thought

“Spicy garlic hops in the aroma and flavor with a nice twist of grapefruit undertone. Smooth on the palate with a semidry, somewhat creamy finish. A more old-school interpretation of the style.”

What our editors thought

“Fresh lemongrass and yuzu in the aroma with a clean white-floral zing. Bolder and sweeter in the sip with a bit of pineapple and grapefruit, but the comparatively trim body stays lively with a funky bitterness.”
