What the brewers say

"Huge notes of tropical fruit, citrus, and dankness on the nose, this IPA is dangerously smooth."

What our panel thought

"Sweet, pleasant nose of floral, woody hops and clean caramel—orange blossom, tangy candy. Bright flavor on yin-and-yang hops-malt blend—brief sweetness, then zesty, pithy citrus mushrooming into firm bitterness. Sweetish finish, lingering spicy bitterness."

What our editors thought

"Full-spectrum nose offers clear aromas at every frequency—citrus, tropical fruit, light malt, touch of musty dank. The sip is incredibly clean; firm bitterness tucked seamlessly behind endearing fruity notes."

REVIEWS FOR YOU >

Top Rung Brewing Company HDR #14

“Inviting aroma with complex hops touching on lemon, berry, and very light sulfur/dank notes. Moderate grapefruit and light pine. Dry and quite bitter with a huge hop-flavor blast of complex fruitiness. No malt gets in the way of the hops—savor the long finish and aftertaste. Well-balanced and crisp.”

Grains of Wrath Crypt Keeper

Enticing Life Savers/Gummy Worm candy fruit nose; woody tropical hops, low bready malt. Medium-high bitterness with a fresh-squeezed orange-grapefruit hop flavor. Easy-going, fruity, juicy, finishing clean and dryish. Could handle a bit more bite for structure. Straightforwardly fruity, lovable, very easy to drink, with unconventional and appealing hop flavor.

Firestone Walker Brewing Company Easy Jack

**Aroma:** “Citrus and pine is subdued. Candied lemon peel, evergreen, herbal. Very mild nose. Fresh grapefruit yumminess from the hops. Some clean light malt in background.” **Flavor:** “Nice citrus flavor with some pine, mild bitterness, and strong carbonation. Lemongrass, wet earth, pineapple, and honey over a light but silky malt body. Clean and crisp—hops dominate the flavor profile.” **Overall:** “Nicely balanced flavor and aroma. This beer gets much better as it warms. The honey-like malt character supports an interesting array of hops notes that are unique and deliver something apart from your typical session IPA. This is a fairly light, refreshing beer. Some astringency in the aftertaste, but still refreshing and balanced. Where most of the others are trying to emphasize the ‘IPA,’ this one is going for ‘session’ and succeeding.”
