What the brewers say
“Drinks like a pilsner. Brewed with malted barley, American hops, and mountain-fresh water.”
What our panel thought
“Soft, inviting fresh-baked bread aroma with a layer of citrus. Well-balanced malt backbone doesn’t get in the way of the citrus and floral hops. Falls a bit thin toward the finish. Delicate with just enough malt and hops to satisfy.”
What our editors thought
“Refined grainy nose with light nutty and bready notes. Bready again in the sip, with light notes of pear and an herbal bitterness buffered by remaining malt sweetness. A touch fruity for a lager-style beer, but enjoyable to drink.”
