What the brewers say

“Strata, Citra, Mosaic hops create passion fruit, melon, berry flavors.”

What our panel thought

“Assertive aroma of tropical hops: big pineapple initially, fading into light citrus-forward notes. Some mountain meadow, grassy and clean. Soft yet firm wheat-driven body provides a footing for the citrus-forward hop flavors. Hop bitterness medium-strong. Soft citrus finish with a touch of rind and soothing bitterness.”

What our editors thought

“Fun candy-fruit note in the aroma with yuzu and lychee. Pithy herbal bitterness in the sip with softer pink tropical edges.”

“Citrus-forward nose followed by ripe tropical-fruit notes. Some pineapple, mango. Flavor has an initial sharp hop bitterness, softened by lots of fresh-fruit flavors. Medium-full body. Sweet yet refined finish.”

Odd 13 Fairy Hopmother

__Aroma:__ “Rich, juicy hops aroma with lots of orange citrusy notes. Strong fruit aromas of mango, pineapple, passion fruit, and lemon, with some grassy notes and a touch of spice and pine.” __Flavor:__ “The hops flavors are resinous, and provide lots of fruit flavors that carry throughout the beer, showcasing each fruit: grapefruit, orange, pineapple, mango, light orange, and peach. Yeasty, bready body that’s soft and fluffy. Some earthy funkiness in the middle, with a light piney bitterness and a touch of malt in the finish.” __Overall:__ “This is a big tropical IPA with a nice neutral malt base that lets the hops shine. It’s all about the hops aroma and flavor, and the balance of sweetness and bitterness just work. A very distinctive beer.”

Cigar City Brewing Space Pope IPA

__Aroma:__ “Orange and tropical—almost Orange Julius. Pineapple, a touch of passion fruit or guava. A bit of herbal and dank in the background. Slight pine. Simple malt sweetness.” __Flavor:__ “Well balanced with a lightly toasted malt bill supporting citrus and tropical fruit and a touch of light stone fruit. Finishes a bit sweet, but the medium-high lingering bitterness helps to cut through the sweetness. Moderate alcohol warmth.” __Overall:__ “Very orange with some supporting tropical fruit, grassy, and dank. The hops bitterness is subdued; some might want more, but overall, a good balance to me. A big juicy tropical IPA. Yum!”
