What the brewers say

“Double IPA with Strata, Sabro, and Nelson Sauvin.”

What our panel thought

“Hazy for style, with an uncommon touch of acid in the finish. Aroma is ripe stone fruit—apricots and peaches—with moderate tropical guava and mango, plus hints of papaya. Light dank sulfur. Flavor echoes nose, with overripe peach and guava, flowery orange zest, light lime note. Cotton candy–sweet finish.”

What our editors thought

"Rides the line between American and juicy, pushing a creamy peach-gummy nose that continues in the sip. Firm bitterness keeps it from devolving; doesn’t compromise either the fruit character or bitterness.”

REVIEWS FOR YOU >

MadTree Brewing Brunch So Hard

Pretty pink color. Generic red fruit up front in the aroma. It comes across a bit like raspberry. Lemon comes through a bit more in the flavor. There’s slight sour in the finish as well from the hibiscus. Medium light body and dry finish.

Omission Bright Eyed IPA

“Light Earl Grey tea and wort aroma. The hop aroma is a bit muted, but the flavor delivers the hops and has a medium level of supporting bitterness. Clean and refreshing with medium-high carbonation and a semidry finish.”

Firestone Walker Brewing Co STiVO

“Pale yellow in color, unfiltered, with a nice bright white head that lingers. Bright floral hop aroma with a touch of dank in the background. Pleasant soft citrus in both the aroma and flavor is tempered by a moderate and very clean bitterness. A lifting herbal and light melon citrus hop flavor builds, but just when it’s about to reach the upper limit, it lets off the gas and the grainy malt starts to come into balance. Slightly minerally, with a clean, dry finish. Overall, a very fresh and soft quality with a quick and clean finish. Well-crafted with no flaws. Aggressive without hitting the limit.”
