What Our Editors Thought
“Lime, orange, light grape esters in the aroma. Classic orange in the flavor with an intense and ragged resinous pine bitterness. Unrefined and earnest.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Pine, diesel, onion, peppery spice, and subtle hints of orange in the nose lean hard into the West Coast. Pronounced resinous pine flavors with subtle hints of lemon, black tea, black pepper. Finish is dry and bitter, but the lightness of the body keeps it all from being too heavy-handed.”
What the Brewers Say
“Mostly classic American pale ale with thiolized yeast and very punchy Citra, Mosaic, and Motueka hops.”
