What Our Editors Thought

“High-key citrus in the aroma with an even brightness. Bigger juice notes in the flavor. Light and airy despite the strong flavors.”

What Our Panel Thought

“Bright tangerine, freshly squeezed, with tart pineapple and low underlying sweetness. Flavor is similar, with tangerine pith, very light tangerine fruit, and a more dominating pineapple. Acidic citrus in the throat is balanced by a subtle sweetness. Sourness rounds it all out, with a pleasant finish that lingers on the tongue.”

What the Brewers Say

“Kettle sour inspired by one of our favorite childhood sodas.”
