Pontoon Brewing Company IPA or Whatever
What the brewers say
“Features Mosaic hops to give piney, tropical, and citrus notes.”
What our panel thought
“Muted aroma—light pine, pepper, diesel, along with pineapple and grapefruit. Resinous hops twine with slightly nutty malt. Solid toast notes evident with some warmth. Light peach or apricot ester. Finish is a touch sweet and caramelly.”
What our editors thought
“Peanut butter with nut and caramel notes in the nose, topped by a light orange marmalade. The sip continues the nutty, orange thread, with medium bitterness. If there were an ounce more flab, it wouldn’t work, but the lean approach delivers.”
