What the brewers say

Crisp, assertive, and dry.

What our panel thought

Light sulfur note complements the classic Noble hops—lightly toasted white bread in the background—creating a familiar and enjoyable nose. Light, crisp, clean body. Hop flavor is slightly too conservative, but the bitterness provides a foundation to hold through the finish. Crazy drinkable. Before you know it, you're ordering a second, or perhaps third...

What our editors thought

Light, bright floral hop nose just borders on perfume. In the sip, an edge of quick bitterness gives an initial punch before the layered floral hops emerge over a tight but thoughtfully constructed body. Exhibits a particular finesse in its restraint—a beautiful lightness and integration that speaks confidently without raising its voice.

REVIEWS FOR YOU >

The Austin Beer Garden Brewing Co Rocket 100

Aroma of doughy malt and floral hops—hints of bitter herbs, both fresh and dried, hit some classic pilsner comfort centers. Flavor marries that grainy malt backbone to that herbal-floral hops flavor and bitterness—lemon-lime note rises as it warms—driving away to a crisp-finish honeymoon. Nicely knitted bittersweetness. Good pilsner—bitterness builds, as it should.

pFriem Family Brewers Czech Dark Lager

“Light brown in color, bright; solid, lasting head. Toasted bread, chocolate, hints of coffee, caramel, and sulfur coupled with strong, floral, Noble-hop aroma. Rich yet restrained malt flavor: toast, crust, light chocolate. Bitterness almost perfectly balanced to keep the malt in check. Super-clean. Refreshing finish. Lightly sweet malt begs for another taste. Elegant, creamy carbonation brings all the flavors together in wonderful synergy. Herbal hop flavor might be a touch strong for style, but it plays so well.”

New Anthem Beer Project Dance Floor Heater

Surprisingly Noble-like aroma, plus lime rind and pith. Nicely balanced flavor. Malt sweetness plays well with funky hops—an intermingling of citrus, tropical fruit, and grassy notes. Dry finish, lingering bitterness. The more I drink, the more it really grows on me.
