What Our Editors Thought

“Passion fruit with a bit of blueberry skin in the aroma, cool and confident but quirky. Expansive yet lean in the flavor as the oily texture gives it width. Light bitterness finishes with a snap.”

What Our Panel Thought

“Pleasant aromatics of pine, lemongrass, grapefruit, and passion fruit are complemented by a light diesel note. The sip is somehow light but assertively bitter, with a balanced complexity of hop notes that carry through into the dry but enjoyably bitter tea-like finish.”

What the Brewers Say

“Exotic citrus and blue raspberry top notes. Snappy.”
