What Our Editors Thought

“Earthy light grape and floral note in the aroma with a mineral undercurrent. Slightly sweet malt in the sip highlights lemon-lime aspects of the hops with a spicy herbal zing.”

What Our Panel Thought

“Unique aroma is a fun mix of fruity esters from yeast and herbal hops: spice, a touch of grape, and blueberry. Holy cow! Blueberries on the flavor! A blueberry Belgian waffle! Medium-sweet malt backbone, lightly toasted. Appealing herbal and spicy mix. Lingering bitterness and a sense of spices from hops blend together in the finish. Wildly creative. Does it work? Yes! It’s an unusual combination of flavors, but it works!”

What the Brewers Say

“A hop-forward Belgian lager with all Belgian ingredients.”
