What the brewers say
“Cold IPA with Citra, Mosaic, HBC 586.”
What our panel thought
“Mango hops with a splash of guava give this beer a strong tropical vibe in both flavor and aroma. Grassy herbaceous aromas, very subtle rubber-like aromas in the background, and just a touch of tropical aromas. The finish is clean with a little bit of hop astringency. Sweetness and bitterness are up front in the mid- palate but subside quickly. It bridges New Zealand IPA and cold IPA.”
What our editors thought
“Fresh pithy tropical fruit and tropical floral notes in the aroma, with a rain forest richness and just a bit of overripe fruit funk. Glimpses of stone fruit esters flash around the aromatic edge. Bright and purposeful in the flavor, as peppery tropical fruit notes balance sweetness and spice. It’s a hefty departure from the original vein of cold IPA, but this modern thiol-focused hop expression fits it nicely.”
