Ecliptic Brewing Vega IPA #13
What the brewers say
“Hopped exclusively with the 2022 Pink Boots Blend, which showcases bright melon and orange while finishing super-clean and dry.”
What our panel thought
“Stone fruit, candied orange, and maybe banana on the nose. Malt is light and clean with a crackery note throughout. Peach and light tangerine, grapefruit, and lemon zest as well as banana esters run through the palate beneath a smooth, moderate bitterness that lingers into a smooth citrusy finish.”
What our editors thought
“Lemon-peach nose with a light tea-like herbal note. Gentle herbal bitterness in the sip plays up that fruit and tea contrast.”
