What Our Editors Thought

“The nose offers a play of earthy/woody with a bit of creamy orange and grapefruit. The sip confounds expectations for a fermentation-driven beer, throwing a wall of hop bitterness that only a few glimpses of fruit can shine through.”

What Our Panel Thought

“A fun medley of melon, apple, strawberry. Moderate bitterness comes in the middle of the taste and becomes slightly more intense as it lingers on the tongue. Light Tellicherry pepper and melon esters in the back. Cold Belgian IPA?”

What the Brewers Say

“Very bitter but still balanced. Distinct hop taste.”
