How We Review

What the brewers say

Bright and citrusy, with lemon peel, Simcoe, Mosaic, Azacca, and Lemondrop hops.

What our panel thought

Pine and the berry character reminiscent of spruce tips hit your nose first. Light orange zest notes give way to a dry, moderately bitter finish. A light cantaloupe-like quality appears as it warms. Low-moderate aroma with medium-full flavor. The bitterness overwhelms the malt bill on the finish, almost bringing a light astrin-gency.

What our editors thought

Lemon and pine on blast with a super light body and tight bitterness. Crushably bright with a lingering lem-on-forest bitterness and fruitiness reminiscent of spruce tips.

Tröegs Golden Thing Dry-Hopped DIPA

Hunting the fields during hops harvest, we were stopped in our tracks by the otherworldly lemon notes of a hop called Lemondrop. We just had to build a beer around it. Our HopCyclone circulates Lemondrop’s citrusy oils throughout Golden Thing, and dry-hopping with Lemondrop and Centennial leads to juicy layers of fresh lemonade, pinesap, and sweet citrus

An effortlessly refreshing helles lager built for kicking back and taking it easy down the road less traveled. Hit Cruise Control and enjoy the ride!

Bear Republic Viking Beach Party IPA

Viking Beach Party IPA is formed with a simple malt bill of 2-row and white wheat. The malts work hand in hand with the late-hops addition of Citra, Ekuanot, and Azacca. Our house yeast rounds out the experience. The 5.5 pounds of hops per bbl and the bone-dry hops character create a juicy experience with limited bitterness. Take it to the beach!

Sierra Nevada Hazy Little Thing

Sierra Nevada’s new Hazy Little Thing IPA is introducing the nation to cloudy IPA. Hops-heavy, juicy, and unfiltered, the beer is ripe with tropical- fruit flavors but finishes clean with Sierra Nevada’s signature West Coast style.

New Belgium Oakspire Bourbon Barrel Ale

A limited-edition collaboration between New Belgium and Knob Creek, Oakspire is a unique bourbon-barrel ale aged with bourbon-steeped oak spirals and char from inside the barrel. Smooth notes of toffee, vanilla, and caramel wrap up with a pleasantly warm finish. Oakspire: Where in- novation meets tradition.
