What the brewers say

N/A

What our panel thought

Aroma: “Lemony and dank, like a Lemonhead that you rolled into some spruce tips. Orange and blood orange in the background. There’s also a minty thing going on. Toasty malt notes.”

Flavor: “Candied lemon pulls through on the flavor. Definitely a hint of grass but not the pronounced pine that is suggested in the aroma. Also some orange sweetness, pithy, with a lemongrass note on the finish and hints of strawberry. Bitterness is more pithy lemon than straight up harsh hops bitterness. Balance is sweet throughout but finishes dry and slightly bitter.”

Overall: “Really interesting complex hops aroma with lemon, mint, and pine. Very balanced overall. Very enjoyable with a likeable interplay of grassy hops character and bitter finish.”

REVIEWS FOR YOU >

Outer Range Brewing Co. In the Steep

__Aroma:__ “Big aroma compared to recent ones. Straight up green onions with a side of garlic and fresh grass clippings. Lemon and peppercorn. Super resin bomb. Some pithy notes and juicy light fruit.” __Flavor:__ “Just onions. Maybe a bit of floral is in the background. Moderate sweetness and moderate high bitterness. Thin mouthfeel and very dry finish. Grassy, light fruit hops with nice fruity character. Chewy, balanced with great lingering complexity. Soft mineral character and bitterness on finish. __Overall:__ “There’s a well brewed base beer underneath that’s fairly bitter, kind of pushing the limits, but well brewed overall. Nose is a little high on the spice/onion character instead of the light fruit, but otherwise a nice beer. Great finish, crisp and highlighting the hops complexity.”

Outer Range Brewing Co. Two Pound Tent

__Aroma:__ “A mix of tropical fruit (grapefruit and pineapple) and grassy hoppiness with notes of pine and rosemary. A slight note of malt sweetness. A nice mild onion dankness emerges as it warms.” __Flavor:__ “Bright hops flavors accentuated by an even brighter hops bitterness. Flavors are more toward the lemongrass, grapefruit side. Some malt sweetness, with a light sweet biscuit character. Bitterness is present throughout, but not unpleasant.” __Overall:__ “An assertive and delicious big IPA that stays true to style without deviating too much from classical examples. This would go great with pizza or garlic breadsticks.”

The Veil Brewing Co. Master Shredder

__Aroma:__ “Lemon and lemongrass, with some light grassiness and dank green tea, herb, and mint. Floral hops character comes through as rose petals and wildflower with some spiciness. Fruity notes of orange, lemon, and pineapple. As it warms, the herbal notes diminish and allow more hops bitterness to come out.” __Flavor:__ “The malt character is light, but delivers the hops well. Notes of pine, herbal, lemon, pineapple, and grapefruit pithiness give way to some stronger, dank earthy flavors. It’s a bit dry with some warmth. The herbal tea flavor and malt sweetness up front transition to a bitter finish with medium spiciness throughout the sip.” __Overall:__ “This might be a touch too bitter; a bit more malt character would be spot on with all the hops going on. I really enjoyed the hops choices. The mélange of stone-fruit, citrus-peel, pine, weed, lemon, and herbal notes makes it unique and delicious. The depth of hops flavors provides a nice cross-section of both tropical fruity flavors and more resinous earthy flavors.”
