Hop Butcher For the World Roost
What the brewers say
“Centennial-hopped extra pale ale.”
What our panel thought
“Commanding, well-executed, happy marriage of hops: earthy, subtle fruit notes of passion fruit and orange, dank, and fresh-cut grass. The flavor profile extends the old school meets new school contour. Bitterness stays medium low, but leaves some sweetness hanging out, a detour from the pronounced hop boldness.”
What our editors thought
“Sweet orange and orange peel in the nose with a light floral perfume. Firmly bitter in the sip with a smooth but classic malt-and-hop oomph that resolves into classic citrus and forest notes.”
