What Our Editors Thought
Light doughy nose with a bit of baby-powder crispness. The sip joins bitter orange-peel spice and light nuttiness with classic Noble-hops bitterness. Heftier on the palate than it looks, it's substantial but not clumsy.
What Our Panel Thought
Bright gold, sturdy foam. Nice herbal-spicy hop aroma with underlying malt sweetness, pushed by a whiff of lager-sulfur. Great balance—light, clean malt sweetness builds a platform for spicy-herbal hops and firm bitterness. Bitter finish, slightly rough. Clean, excellent.
What the Brewers Say
Light toasty malt flavors are complemented by a floral and spicy hop character throughout, making for a balanced and refreshing beer.
