What the brewers say

“Powerful, hazy, dank, and fruity tropical expression of Citra Cryo, El Dorado, and Vic Secret hops.”

What our panel thought

“Initial blast of raspberry and tea aroma, accented by passion fruit, blackberry, orange, and subtle lavender. On the palate, pronounced malt sweetness balances snappy citrus, black tea, blackberry, cherry, with hints of pine, cedar, and subtle earth. Seamless. Warmth in the finish suggests alcoholic heft, yet well-balanced, pleasant, dangerous.”

What our editors thought

“Exuberant nose with light melon, kiwi, tangerine. The sip dips into midtones with rustic orange, yet maintains the light, juicy tone.”
