What the brewers say
“Toasted chestnuts, honey, toffee, vanilla. Aged in apple-brandy barrels.”
What our panel thought
“Candied watermelon–like apple-brandy interpretation in the nose. As the aroma implies, an alcohol warmth overlays deep, rich caramel malts and an orange-led citrus. Firm hop bitterness expertly balances.”
What our editors thought
“Bright fruit esters in the aroma—strawberry, grape, lime—offer a vivid chroma and enticing pull. Light in body and heavier on hop bitterness, with a subtle spirits flavor that doesn’t overwhelm the more delicate fruit notes. Artfully constructed and airy.”
