What Our Editors Thought
“Honey, aloe, a bit of woody Brett character in the aroma ride that earthy-fruity line. Lime and tropical-fruit bitterness in the sip with bright carb gives life to the rather thin body, while the hops grab the spotlight.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Restrained nose, sweet and slightly savory with ginger, scallion or chive blossom, sake wine. Citrus more apparent in the flavor: pineapple, orange, pear. Herbal hops add complexity. Fruity accentuated by tart, not quite sour, notes.”
What the Brewers Say
“Foeder-aged, dry-hopped with Czech Saaz CRYO and HBC 586 hops.”
