What the brewers say

“100 percent Skagit Valley Pilot pale malt and 100 percent Mosaic hops.”

What our panel thought

“The dank hop aroma builds on a blend of mild onion and green pepper, with some fruity sweet notes. The flavor adds a touch of spicy black pepper that helps the finish pop. A touch more bitterness would have been welcome. but this is a confident pale ale.”

What our editors thought

“Bold modern nose—pineapple, mango, with an almost minty freshness. Citrus zest and subtle pineapple sweetness in the sip with a thoughtfully structured smooth bitterness behind. Contemporary and vivid.”
