Cellar West Brewery Barrel Select 2023
What the brewers say
“Oak-aged Brett saison dry-hopped with Citra, Nectaron.”
What our panel thought
“Aroma of tropical fruit mixed with lime, light woody background. Mixed fruit esters in the flavor, some overripe/dank pineapple layered on top of light phenolic woody notes. Medium-strong hop bitterness lingers.”
What our editors thought
“Tropical-fruit aroma with mango, guava, and a lightly toasted wood note. Intense bitterness in the sip overwhelms the fruit notes, shouting down the softer voices.”
