What the brewers say
“Riwaka and Motueka hops join forces with an experimental hop known for its fruity flavors, HBC 586, in this foggy, pale-colored creation.”
What our panel thought
“Nose of bitter orange peel, ripe mango, pine, and a low, provocative minty note. The flavor has lesser hop impact. Soft, velvety mouthfeel; the malt could have pushed this further, but for distracting tinges of alcohol and hop burn. Quite enjoyable.”
What our editors thought
“Green papaya note—crisp, lush, peppery—like a Thai fruit salad that avoids saccharine clichés. Gentle but spritely sip, brisk and sparkly, with a lingering, unsweet papaya note.”
