Southern Grist Brewing Company Core Memory

What the brewers say

“West Coast–style IPA brewed with Centennial, Galaxy, Strata.”

What our panel thought

“Sweet and fruity aroma of pineapple and treacle. Quite bitter, but the agave-light malty sweetness keeps it in the range. The hop flavor comes across as lemongrass, elderflower, and just a hint of tarragon. A good, well-put-together beer.”

What our editors thought

“Papaya and apricot with a mineral edge in the aroma. The sip eschews the typical rhythm, beginning tropically and building in bitterness through the finish.”
