What Our Editors Thought

“Deeper honey on toasted rustic bread aroma. Almost chewy, with fresh, zesty citrus behind it. Dry with light pineapple glints in the sip, doughy but direct with a defined pine-apple-rind bitterness.”

What Our Panel Thought

“Green-apple tartness in the aroma with some spicy hops. Saltine-cracker malt backbone for the lightly sour characteristics. Enough hop bitterness to balance the aftertaste. Finishes with an earthy dryness. Refreshing with the fruity tartness. Light, spritzy, and polished.”

What the Brewers Say

“Brewed with local wheat, barley. Fermented with Ethiopian white honey.”
