Firestone Walker Brewing Co Gen-5

What the brewers say

“Flavors of canned peach, white grape, pineapple juice, strawberry Starburst, prickly pear, and orange.”

What our panel thought

“Cannabis and mango hops in the nose. Not delicate, but interesting and a bit unique. Finish is bitter for the style, but incredibility soft. Not quite West Coast aggressive, but hearkening to some of those sensibilities.”

What our editors thought

“Tropical fruit and spicy tropical bitterness in equal measure. Soft but snappy, sweet guava but pithy, loose but well-defined—it’s a study in delicious tropical contrast.”
