What the brewers say

“Dark lager.”

What our panel thought

“Melon-like fruity esters dominate the aroma. Latte-like flavor, light body, with a creamy, velvety mouthfeel and a melon-forward hop contribution. Seductive chocolate and light coffee gently transition to a creamy finish. Super oddball, a Frankenstein, but it kind of works. Fun and different.”

What our editors thought

“Unusual stone fruit–candy notes in the aroma, peach ring, with a bit of minty hops. The candy notes carry into the flavor with an atypical intensity.”
