Broad Leaf Local Beer Chromatic Shatter

What the brewers say

“Everyday-drinking hazy pale ale with Talus, Mosaic, and Citra.”

What our panel thought

“The nose is an explosion of fruit perfume—tangerine, mango, with a touch of peach. The flavor shifts emphasis to mango/papaya, accompanied by a steady and persistent bitterness. Pleasant perfume note kicks back in on the retronasal with each swallow.”

What our editors thought

“Spicy mango nose with sweaty undertones leads into the punchy sip. It’s sweet, fruity, and spicy, with a ratcheted-up intensity in bitterness and sweetness despite its small size.”

REVIEWS FOR YOU >

Broad Leaf Local Beer Cult Pils

“Aroma is a balance of herbal hops and sulfur fermentation profile. Some spicy, peppery hop flavors ride through to the finish. Minimal malt flavor is lightly white bread and cracker. Perhaps a bit too much bitterness, but an enjoyable beer.”

Societe Brewing Company The Coachman

“Aroma offers tropical fruit mixed with dank and catty, lightly bready malt. That combination persists into the flavor, but the intensity lessens. Fruity esters boost the tropical impression. Body is light, crisp, without excessive bitterness. Aftertaste shows earthy, dank notes and a lingering bitterness.”

Our Mutual Friend Brewing Time’s Arrow

“Moderate diesel-and-resin hop aroma, with light tropical hints and a bit of bready malt. Golden and bright, with a head that retains well—great body and carbonation. In the mouth, the hops shift more into resinous pine, paired with a smooth, round, and slowly building bitterness, while the malt evokes biscuit and pie crust. The aroma carries through to the flavor, with rounded garlic and diesel, resin, light pineapple, and mango hop flavors, buoyed by a moderate malt sweetness that keeps things in balance. Finishes mostly dry, hops in sync with malt and bitterness, as they carry into the aftertaste and fade off at just the right time. Very pleasant.”
