What the brewers say

“North Star Pils, a bit of dextrin, Citra, Nectaron, Simcoe, Mosaic.”

What our panel thought

“Pineapple, dank peaches, citrus in the nose. The taste contrasts, starting with a firm, clean bitterness before jumping into a bouquet of grapefruit, tangerine, pine, diesel, followed by a background malt sweetness. A good, bitter-forward, flavorful example.”

What our editors thought

“Strong woody, almost cocoa-powder-­like note in the nose with berry undertones. Bolder berry in the flavor, accentuated by the semisweet body, with a balancing drying woody note below. Interesting and engaging.”

REVIEWS FOR YOU >

Riverlands Brewing Company Kayak Pils

“Brilliantly clear. Smells like toasted white bread, approaching caramel, with subdued hops; slight peanut-butter notes. Grainy and bold flavor with a definite sweetness; showcases a bouquet of spicy and floral hops with notes of white pepper. Assertive bitter finish.”

Riverlands Brewing Company Three Waves

“Fruit cocktail, pineapple, citrus, tropical-fruit aromas. Vanilla, guava, mango round it out. Tropical fruits with mango lead the flavor charge, papaya or guava in the middle, a touch of banana ties it all together. Smooth mouthfeel. Finishes well balanced and zesty.”

Fonta Flora Brewery Your Tai

“Aroma is tangerine peel, peach, strawberry, kiwi, pine forest. Hop flavors are fresh, crisp, with a citrus aftertaste. Firm yet balanced malt background. Brief berry-forward finish with lingering bitterness.”
