What our panel thought

What our editors thought

Strong smoke in the nose is buffered by lime and melon notes and a creamy oak-driven vanilla. Spicy in the sip with a bitter char note over strong dark chocolate bulk.

REVIEWS FOR YOU >

Our Mutual Friend Brewing The Fizz

“Crystal-clear golden appearance. Soft creamy corn notes up front with low graininess followed by herbal, minty, and grassy hops. Medium-light hop bitterness and a soft, rounded, semidry, clean finish. Medium-high carbonation.”

Our Mutual Friend Brewing Fixed Blade

“Caramel, toasty chocolate, toffee notes greet the nose, with a hint of whiskey. Flavors of toffee, caramel, molasses, dark dried fruit. Some alcohol bite with a good amount of bitterness tempers the sweetness. Finish is relatively clean.”

Our Mutual Friend Brewing Fixed Blade

“Moderate caramel, toast, and pipe tobacco. Light buttery vanilla oak. Soft notes of dried apricot and fig. Rich and sweet malt with flavors of caramel, toast, and pipe tobacco. Significant alcohol, hot on the swallow. Finishes sweet and a touch cloying. Alcohol lingers a while.”
