What the brewers say
“Notes of grapefruit pith, tangerine, mango, juniper, fennel pollen, orange juice.”
What our panel thought
“Intriguing nose, with big citrus hops, pine, and a touch of oak. Light leathery funk. Low sourdough malt. Bright, fresh splash of citrus-hop juice smacks the palate atop a layer of funk, vanilla, and grapefruit peel. Nice lemon and pineapple depth in the acidity. Softer in back of the palate, with a burst of acidity and zest.”
What our editors thought
“Earthy Key lime and kiwi in the nose, with a fresh wet-fern note. Bready in the sip, with a light tartness that swirls through the pithy bitterness.”
