Broad Brook Brewing Company Chit's & Giggles Pale Ale
What the brewers say
“Amarillo, Centennial, and Mandarina Bavaria hops.”
What our panel thought
“Dank, earthy, lightly tropical hops. Malt aroma is sweet, caramel. Full and smooth malt flavors, with lingering sweetness into the finish. Hop bitterness is restrained, balancing. The malt bolsters the mouthfeel. It’s a pale ale that suggests the lazy days of summer.”
What our editors thought
“Grape and berry esters on the nose, with bits of fresh-baked bread. Lime and grape come through in the flavor, slightly rough in the bitterness with a bit of buttery width.”
