Hop Butcher For the World Destination Moon
What the brewers say
“Mosaic-, Chinook-, and Simcoe-hopped.”
What our panel thought
“Mangos, melons, stone fruit, and gooseberries, perhaps even a bit of dank and pine. Bitterness falls somewhere between IPA coasts. The flavor profile follows tropical fruit and a light caramel, with a blast of resinous pine and dank that carries through to the bitter and lightly dry finish. Bold and aggressive.”
What our editors thought
“A bit of guava fruit with an earthy pineapple back—the tropical cocktail piece is evident. On the sip, fruit notes hang in pitched relief against a classic piney backdrop. Modern with a classic twist.”
