What the brewers say

“A West Coast pilsner, gushing with aromas of pine needles, cannabis, and tropical citrus.”

What our panel thought

“Assertive pine notes in the aroma blend well with orange, lemongrass, and honeysuckle notes. Pine flavors lean a little danker than the aroma suggests and are complemented by hints of orange zest and grapefruit pith. Bold bitterness lingers well into the clean, crisp, bitter finish.”

What our editors thought

“Tropical mango and papaya with a subtle baking-spice top note in the aroma. Spongy and sweet fruit in the sip overwhelms the very light tropical bitterness.”

REVIEWS FOR YOU >

Barebottle Brewing Company Phantasti-Cali

“Dank grass, candied raspberry, light spiced herbs in the aroma. Restrained hop bitterness beneath a slightly sweet toasty malt flavor. Hints of garlic. Medium bitterness throughout.”

Barebottle Brewing Company Cryo Chemistry

“Citrus-forward nose followed by ripe tropical-fruit notes. Some pineapple, mango. Flavor has an initial sharp hop bitterness, softened by lots of fresh-fruit flavors. Medium-full body. Sweet yet refined finish.”

Barebottle Brewing Company Haze and Ashbury

“Big nose of grapefruit, lemongrass, sagebrush, candied tangerine, floral. Cracker-like maltiness with mandarin oranges, green hop resin. Big, dank hop presence with a creamy and dry finish. Bitterness elegantly complements the body, and carbonation is spot-on. Mouthfeel carries the flavors without being sweet or full.”
