What Our Panel Thought
Aroma: “Peach schnapps and orange juice braced with pine tar. Complex hops aroma with bright citrus, grassy, orange, grapefruit, and white wine notes. Biscuit malt sweetness adds a backbone. Plenty of in-your-face hops aroma.”
Flavor: “Very tasty hops profile full of grass and resin and mint with a full puckering bitterness. Just a hint of malt caramel sweetness peeks out as it warms. Lots of sweet juicy orange and pineapple—fruity juiciness. The malt body helps hold the beer, and it finishes sweet with a slight bitterness; the hops flavor comes across as fruity with hints of blackberries, melons, and lemon.”
Overall: “A classic West Coast–hops hit that’s enjoyable and full-bodied. The flavors of the hops and malt worked well with a bitter drying finish that helped cut the sweet. Amazing American hops character with bright citrus, pine, and dank flavors and aromas.”
What the Brewers Say
“Lemondrop and El Dorado hops provide spicy, herbal, citrusy hops aromatics balanced with light-toasted malt. Hops flavor reminds many of a lemon Starburst candy! Medium-body with a bitter, dry finish.”
