What Our Editors Thought

"Sweaty citrus and tropical funk—unresolved tension between glorious and weird. In the sip, tropical sweetness morphs into dry-pineapple bitterness with David Blaine–like precision. Finishes dry, its sweetness ghostly. Drinkable and satisfying. A masterwork of balance."

What Our Panel Thought

"Ripe orange, lemon, grapefruit, and intense dankness melding with alcohol for a complex aroma with spicy, pepper-like kick. Chewy sweetness tempers the bitterness, drying out enough to avoid cloying."

What the Brewers Say

"Milky yellowy/white in color, with flavorful hoppy layers of pineapple, lychee, and nectarine."
