North Park Beer Co. Cool Stache
What the brewers say
“Our first foray into the style of cold IPA.”
What our panel thought
“Aroma offers mild green pepper, delicate tropical notes—pineapple, guava, passion fruit, orange, lemon. Flavor feels a bit muddled—tropical at first, hint of malt sweetness, but body feels thin, watery. Balanced sweetness dries out to a clean, subtle bitterness. Underlying spicy note. Crisp finish.”
What our editors thought
“Soft tropical notes with a bit of pungent weed, herbal spice. Clean, bright; sweetness amplifies fruit notes, deftly balanced by bitterness. Crescendos to a sudden finish.”
