Brix Brewery & Taphouse Winged Hussar
What the brewers say
“Unique and Noble, crisp (of course), with woody, herbal, lemon, and lavender notes.”
What our panel thought
“Unassuming nose belies a complex, though somewhat strange, hop character in the body. Ripe strawberry, pine, and a Scotch-like smokiness near the finish. Not unpleasant, but certainly head-turning. The hop notes are paired with a very well-crafted base pilsner that we’d love to see as a more traditional pilsner, too.”
What our editors thought
“Dry earthy herbal nose with hints of oregano and thyme. The sip has a warm-hued tone to it, inviting and comfortable.”
