What the brewers say

“Aromas of shiso plum, fresh bread, violet. Sparkling notes of jasmine rice and fresh green tea.”

What our panel thought

“Floral, spicy hops, some fresh-cut grass, with cracker and slight grain sweetness that stops it from becoming watery. Mouthfeel has a slight carbonic bite that finishes quickly. Soapy and floral flavors with a hint of white cracker.”

What our editors thought

“Fresh floral aroma with a subtle tea-like fruit-herb mashup. A significant grippy bitterness leads the flavor and quickly resolves into softer floral tones. Light yet punchy.”
