What Our Editors Thought

“Perfumey nose with orange blossoms and a light honey note. Light, like a buzz cut—high and tight, clean and ordered, quick herbal-tea finish.”

What Our Panel Thought

“Clean and bright. Inviting dank, artisanal pine soap in the nose. More dank pine in the flavor and just enough malt backbone to give some balance. More citrus and bubblegum hop flavors as it warms. Great mouthfeel. A pleasant amount of bitterness lingers on the tongue. A deft hand balanced these flavors.”

What the Brewers Say

“Packed with Mosaic and Citra, giving it notes of citrus and pineapple.”
