What Our Panel Thought

Aroma: “Lots of lemon and pine with a hint of floral notes and a touch of black pepper. Very fruity aroma with hints of strawberries, peaches, and pears plus aromas of peanut butter and bread yeast. Floral, dank, resiny hops character and a hint of tangerine.”

Flavor: “Balanced (for an IPA), with a hint of residual sweetness. Rich hops avor (resin, pine, citrus, grapefruit, tropical fruit) matched with a pleasant bitterness and proper malt background. Low IBUs are not as palate-cleansing as some other IPAs, but let the fruity hops notes shine.”

Overall: “Something a bit different... a touch of crystal malt adds biscuity sweetness and complexity. Hops throw alternating layers of lemony and floral flavors. An excellent, complex modern take on the American IPA style with a well-constructed malt bill that brings out the best in the hops. Very well executed and worth seeking out.”

What the Brewers Say

“A balanced, soft, and juicy IPA. Ripe passion fruit and citrus hops aroma lead to a full, fruit-forward hops flavor that washes over the palate, ending with subtle bitterness.”
