What Our Editors Thought
Soft tropical hops nose with a clear New Zealand vibe. The sip is rather wide and less focused, without the bitterness that would help define it. But the hops are so compelling, with a green tropical-fruit funkiness, that it becomes easy to enjoy.
What Our Panel Thought
Aroma has some great West Coast hop aspects—pine and citrus. In the flavor, rounded hop bitterness works well with the sweetness. Found it lacking in crispness and brightness.
What the Brewers Say
Mash up of delightful keller-pils with dank West Coast IPA. Double dry-hopped with our hand-selected lots of 2020 Motueka, Wai-Iti, and Citra.
