Penrose Brewing Company Hiking Boots
What the brewers say
“Conan yeast stars alongside Cashmere and Simcoe for a fully saturated, ripe stone-fruit explosion.”
What our panel thought
“Earthy, herbal aroma gives way to bright, deep citrus (grapefruit, blood orange), guava, papaya, ripe peach, low bread. In the flavor, malt backbone with honey and light toast supports smooth bitterness; fruitiness leans toward overripe peach, kiwi, candied orange, gooseberry.”
What our editors thought
“Unexpected orange-and-berry or spruce tip aroma. The sip is more conventional orange with a fresh spruce-tip edge, but light and woodsy like an alpine forest on a bluebird day.”
