12 West Brewing Company Super Beaker
What the brewers say
“Citra- and Motueka-hopped, unfiltered tropical IPA.”
What our panel thought
“Light tropical notes of mango and lemon-lime provide an aromatic greeting. The flavor grounds the tropics with a moderately strong bitterness that lingers into a lasting, lime-gilded aftertaste. Moderate resin and black-pepper hop flavor backed by lighter fruity peach and mango.”
What our editors thought
“Zippy citrus in the nose layered with an almost dried citrus-tea element. On the palate, a rich mouthfeel without sweetness, punctuated with a thin burst of herbal hop bitterness that hits quickly and recedes. Both East and West.”
