What Our Editors Thought

“Coconut and pineapple in the aroma, big and inviting. Lighter bitterness in the sip keeps it accessible without losing definition, as the highly attenuated body is sleek and direct. Remains inviting not austere, despite the sharp lines.”

What Our Panel Thought

“Subtle nose of some light pine and mandarin orange. Hits the classic hop profile with a modern twist—citrus-pine backed with some exotic lychee and jasmine notes. Crisp body has enough malt to provide some backing beer character. The finish is quite bitter but trades aggressive astringency for clean pine and grapefruit. Grows on you as it warms.”

What the Brewers Say

“Brewed with Mosaic Incognito, Strata Hyperboost, Strata CGX, Mosiac Cryo, and Cashmere CGX.”
