Perennial on Lockwood Rebel Oakes
What the brewers say
“IPA brewed and dry hopped with solely Galaxy.”
What our panel thought
“Orange pith, ripe peach, lightly toasted cracker, and a touch of herbal pine throughout. Low bread crusts in the flavor let the herbal hops shine, with the flavor also adding low honey notes and moderate gooseberry and tropical fruits, particularly guava. Medium bittering is smooth and lingers into an herbal and fruity finish.”
What our editors thought
“Bright post-rainstorm freshness and orange notes in the nose. Firm malt with a nice line—the tropical edge is rounded, but a subtle bitterness pushes through.”
