New Anthem Beer Project Clapback Triple Bizarro
What the brewers say
“Big wheated variant of our all-Citra DIPA with an addition of Riwaka and Nectaron.”
What our panel thought
“Lemony yellow color with a light-to-medium head. A punchy, dank green aroma laced with sweet, fruity alcohol notes of candied apricots and amaretto. Flavor is a powerhouse of sweet rolls, candied orange, stone fruits, honey, herbal tea. Bitter in a great balancing way. An enormous beer that somehow pulls a huge array of flavors all together.”
What our editors thought
“Azalea flowers, guava, pineapple, kiwi, a touch of Southern Hemisphere–like thiols with a fresh herbal edge that’s engaging and deep. Drops down an octave in the sip, with stronger tropical bitterness and equally matched orange and lime peel that give dimension while destroying any perception of excessive sweetness. It echoes the best of the tiki world, employing sweetness, bitterness, acidity, and herbal freshness in creative and expressive ways that still achieve balance despite their huge scale. Muscular without sacrificing its fast-twitch response.”
