What Our Editors Thought

Vivid rich tropical papaya and mango notes grounded with hints of earthy fruit skin. The sip offers a touch of fruit sweetness backed by a perfectly placed light bitterness that makes the fruit pop without stealing the scene. Overall, the body is effortless.

What Our Panel Thought

Starts with a soft tropical sweetness with a heavy dose of peppercorn spice that quickly gives way to a pleasant moderate bitterness. Mango, orange, and peach dominate with an underlying lime and passion-fruit tartness to cut through the sweetness. Chewy but not cloying with a medium-dry finish.

What the Brewers Say

Hints of tropical, mango, pineapple, papaya, peach, melon, citrus, and floral. Mild lingering sweetness, slightly mineral, light bitter linger, medium body, slightly warming.
