What Our Editors Thought
“Classic pale-ale nose, with light stone-fruit esters, a bit of bready malt, and a light orange blossom floral bitterness. A bit chalky in the sip, adding a matte sheen to the otherwise defined floral bitterness.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Balanced aroma featuring toasted or caramel malt, with woody, earthy hops. Some red-apple or peach aromas. Smooth malt flavor, with firm bitterness for balance. Hop flavor favors woody, subtle varieties. Lingering caramel malt flavor.”
What the Brewers Say
“Hints of earthy, floral, and spice with a floral aroma.”
