What Our Editors Thought

Herbal lavender on the nose offers an almost saison-like character with a touch of yeast phenolics that cement the comparison. The sip is similarly saison-esque with a bit more malt sweetness and slight touch of citrus over a minimal bitterness.

What Our Panel Thought

Pours into the glass with a lively head of foam—almost wanting to jump out of the glass. Perhaps a touch too much carbonation with a lingering carbonic bite. Waves of white-wine notes blended with light tropical fruits. Bright and full of life across the palate with sauvignon-grape flavors. Although enjoyable, somewhat one dimensional and finishes abruptly.

What the Brewers Say

Brewed with the 2018 Pink Boots Society Hops Blend to give it a fruity, citrusy front to balance the dry fin-ish.
