AleSmith Brewing Co IPA
What the brewers say
“Aromas of grapefruit and tangerine lead into an abundance of fresh pine and tropical fruit.”
What our panel thought
“Buttery, rich aroma with some tropical- fruit hops. Light caramel-malt sweetness mingles with orange marmalade, strawberry, and fruit punch–like notes, with a hint of pine in the background. Caramel and biscuit-like flavor notes carry the orange and piney bitterness. Finish is dry and crisp.”
What our editors thought
“Soft orange and pine on the nose, while the flavor brings a throwback element of caramel to the mix for a nostalgic but classic feel.”
