What the brewers say

“Pilsner dry-hopped with Tettnanger, Saaz, and Motueka hops.”

What our panel thought

“Subtle, light, and delicate aromatics of floral and citrus notes with a clean, malt-forward nose. The hop notes are more present in the flavor and create a nice floral, fruity, and perfume-like counterpoint to the crackery malt sweetness. The mouthfeel is light and airy, and the finish is crisp and clean, creating a subtle but thoroughly enjoyable and supremely drinkable beer.”

What our editors thought

“Floral and fragrant nose, lyrical and looping. Sweet floral sip, endearing and cozy with a clever contemporary twist.”

REVIEWS FOR YOU >

Finback Brewery Crispy Morning

“A great collision of mango and the world of clean lager. Bright fruity hop note, hints of American lager in the background with a subtle hint of corn; a slightly fruity fermentation character works with the citrus hops, and a restrained grassy note. Skirts the austerity of a classic Continental lager.”

Incendiary Brewing Company Schwarzbier

“Fantastic example of the style. Really nice roasted malt character. Rich, complex dark malt with no roast-bitterness or harshness. Well-balanced mouthfeel with a snappy, balanced finish. Clean without being stark, leaving lingering notes of chocolate and dark caramel. Great simplicity while still having depth. Creamy, subtle, with an understated complexity. Drinks like a lager.”

12 West Brewing Company Radial Spines

“In the aroma, spicy herbal notes, barely-there fennel, floral notes, sweet pea flowers, slight lime zest, red berry. Lemony hop notes are punchy up front and allow a slight resinous pine quality to round out the finish. White-bread malty sweetness balances the hops. Luscious, medium body. Finishes perfectly balanced, inviting the next sip.”
