What Our Editors Thought

Soft dried floral notes in the aroma, and a touch of rosemary focaccia. Purple floral notes carry through in the flavor with a softly sweet malt note that's more round than full. Brisk and snappy finish. Well designed and executed with a modern classic feel.

What Our Panel Thought

Orange toned hue pour with a firm white head. Pome fruit notes on the nose. Soft mouthfeel with a soothing malt foundation with layers of caramel and toasted notes. Light citrus hop flavors linger throughout. Low bitterness on the palate and finish. Medium fruity esters on the finish. | Considering the lack of evervence in the N2 impact, the beer has an incredibly fresh citrusly, herbal forward-hop character, not a fresh bag of pellets, but damn close. Well-rounded malt backbone supporting all the way through, creating congruency between hop and barley. The impact of the N2 overall, besides the head, has a creamy mouthfeel, and damn fine drinkability/crush factor

What the Brewers Say

Nitro Pub Ale, brewed with 100% Maine grain and hopped with Willamette and Amarillo.
