Green Cheek Beer Company False Memories

What the brewers say

“Citra, Mosaic, HBC 586. Ruby Red grapefruit, navel oranges, the devil’s lettuce in the linger.”

What our panel thought

“Lively nose of lemongrass, lemon balm, orange peel, tangerine, pine, light floral. Flavor follows nose, but with a softer approach that gives way to a balanced bitterness that carries into the finish.”

What our editors thought

“Sweet mango, guava notes with a touch of pomegranate in the aroma balance the fresh, sharp tropical floral notes. On the palate, light tropical-­fruit bitterness, a very lean body, flavor that hits quick and cleans up even quicker.”

REVIEWS FOR YOU >

Grains of Wrath Brewing Wastelandia IPA

“Fruity, floral, tropical aromatics of strawberry, grape, passion fruit, limoncello, orange blossom. Well-balanced sip accentuates hop aromatics with a carrying bitterness. Finishes dry and crisp.”

Green Cheek Beer Company Brad Coast

“A delightful aroma of white wine, apricots, Thai basil. The soft, fluffy body would make you think ‘hazy,’ if you didn’t know better. Bitterness is clean and on the money. The hop taste is more herbal with jasmine, white tea, and lemongrass. Well balanced.”

Green Cheek Beer Company- Costa Mesa Training Bines

“Subtle nose with lemon, papaya, pine, and a slightly sweet malt in the mix. The flavor has hints of hash, pineapple, mango, and orange candy, with a classic, clean malt profile that lingers behind the hops. Hop bitterness keeps the beer in the spectrum but well balanced.”
