What Our Editors Thought

“Presents orange-yellow in color with a slight astringent edge. Grapefruit and pineapple lead, followed by pine, bark, and a touch of green grass. There is a pronounced malt presence shaping the profile toward a classic American IPA.”

What Our Panel Thought

“Nose features a great balance of hops and malt. The understated hop profile has a foundational malt backbone. Malt sweetness on the finish. Easy to drink, hard to decipher distinct hop characters.”

What the Brewers Say

“Built around fresh-frozen Cryo hops. Layered citrus, tropical fruit, and classic West Coast pine.”
