What Our Editors Thought

An integrated honey sweetness-meets-herbal-citrus nose is painfully subtle, but a soft and mild herbal bitterness plays against a mild malt sweetness for a softer take on classic American-hops flavor.

What Our Panel Thought

Big combination of hops bitterness and smooth malt. Hops flavor shows up strongly in aftertaste, woody and spicy. Alcohol medium strong but not oppressive or harsh. Very drinkable and balanced.

What the Brewers Say

By letting this fresh, golden-hued DIPA go unfiltered, the beer takes on a hazy appearance, and its peach and tropical-fruit hops aromas are intensified.
