Grains of Wrath Brewing Panopticon IPA
What the brewers say
“Bright and balanced with piney bitterness and a touch of dankness. Notes of juicy pineapple, honeydew melon, bright berries, passion fruit.”
What our panel thought
“Wildly complex, amazing hop nose of lime leaf, fresh orange-blossom flower, grapefruit zest, passion fruit, peach, pine, lemongrass. The flavor doesn’t disappoint. A fleeting dose of light malt sweetness gives way to a balanced, bright bitterness with hints of lemon, peach, mango, pine, some floral notes. Finishes dry, crisply bitter.”
What our editors thought
“Intriguing mélange of baked stone-fruit tart, lime leaf, ripe plantain, with a very light, fresh, tropical-floral structure. Beautifully structured bitterness in the sip accentuates the fruit notes without overwhelming them. Full without feeling heavy. Remarkable body in such a tight and concise beer.”
