What the brewers say

“West Coast–style IPA dry-hopped with Mosaic, Chinook, and Nelson Sauvin.”

What our panel thought

“Punchy from the get-go. Nose is a strong blend of hop pellets, Lemonheads, white grapes. The flavor is similar but with less dimension. Biscuit malt flavors are a canvas for fruity/piney/slightly herbaceous hops. Firm and satisfying bitterness. Leans sweet, with a full mouthfeel.”

What our editors thought

“Big, funky passion-fruit nose with some intriguing phenolic undercurrents. Sparkling, funky, bitter note at the front of the sip resolves into sweaty fruit that scrubs quickly.”
