Perennial Artisan Ales Something in the Orange
What the brewers say
“With Sabro Cryo, Citra, Centennial hops.”
What our panel thought
“A pillowy head invites you in for a tame lemonade, candied tangerine, tea-like aroma. Little maltiness, and a surprisingly muted flavor of black tea and fruit punch. Well-balanced mouthfeel. Finishes very dry.”
What our editors thought
“A sharp Cointreau-like note in the aroma structures the voluminous citrus, with a light woodiness. A vanilla-like softness in the flavor furthers the suggestion of barrel, but it finishes with a woody tannic kick and far more fight than one would typically expect in the style. Irreverent and audacious.”
