Celestial Beerworks Sparkle Water

What the brewers say

“Sparkling water, hop terpenes, and lemon.”

What our panel thought

“A light lemon aroma follows through with a crisp, dry, light lemon-tree taste, restrained mineral profile. Refreshing earthy mouthfeel with a clean finish.”

What our editors thought

“Bright, lemony nose with a bubbly energy that helps underplay the lemon-cleaner element. Those aromas don’t carry through into the flavor, as it settles into a standard carbonated-water sip.”

REVIEWS FOR YOU >

Reuben's Brews Fruitfizz Lemon+Lime

“Lemon and lime Skittles, a refreshing medley of lemon and lime essences. The aroma is clean and fresh. It has great carbonation and effervescence. Its citrus is light and pleasantly crisp. A soft acidic tartness lingers.”

Sidras Bereziartua Sagardoak Bereziartura

“Great nose: _Brett_-like goaty funk, earthy, leathery with hints of cinnamon. Dry, well-crafted with funky complexity and nice depth.”

Wander Back Beerworks Perfectly Cromulent IPA

Moderate soft fruity hops aromas of peach and nectar. Sweaty and dank hop notes in the nose carry through into the flavor with a pleasant but light malt body to support them. Fully ripe fruit flesh notes abound. Tastes of guava on a soft bed of light white bread and mildly spicy wheat with a spritz of lemon. Somewhat basic hop flavor—not very complex or layered—seems to be somewhat muted. The slightly chalky mouthfeel seems to further accentuate the bitterness but also helps keep the finish somewhat crisp until the residual hop bitterness slowly reemerges and pleasantly blankets the palate with resin. Finish is lighty sweet but still dry.
