What Our Editors Thought

“Bright golden beneath a persistent white head. Notes of bread dough and dried mango provide much of the initial character, supported by a fuller body and restrained hop bitterness. Lower carbonation keeps the finish soft.”

What Our Panel Thought

“Aromatic notes of grainy and bready malts with light floral hops and a soft, almost tropical fruit ester. Light mouthfeel. Bright flavor continues that theme with grainy malts, light floral hops, and fruit esters that linger on the tongue, intermixed with a slight sweetness and restrained bitterness.”

What the Brewers Say

“Delivering a crisp and clean taste inspired by our favorite European lagers.”
