What the brewers say

“Oak-aged Brett saison dry-hopped with Citra, Nectaron.”

What our panel thought

“Aroma of tropical fruit mixed with lime, light woody background. Mixed fruit esters in the flavor, some overripe/dank pineapple layered on top of light phenolic woody notes. Medium-strong hop bitterness lingers.”

What our editors thought

“Tropical-fruit aroma with mango, guava, and a lightly toasted wood note. Intense bitterness in the sip overwhelms the fruit notes, shouting down the softer voices.”
