What Our Editors Thought
Soft nose splits the difference between herbal and floral, with a gentle citrus-wood element. The sip is peppy and energetic, youthful—more Adidas than Hugo Boss—but that energy comes at the expense of fine-tuned polish.
What Our Panel Thought
Aroma suggests an American West Coast or New Zealand spin on a classic, but respectful—Noble hops with pine, diesel, sulfur, light minerality. Piney aspects are more pronounced in the flavor. Certainly not classical, but well-executed and drinkable. A fun approach.
