What Our Editors Thought

“Banana, papaya, strawberry, orange—crisp and tropical. Sip has a fresh, minty edge that provides a defined crispness. Sweet, but it balances.”

What Our Panel Thought

“Aroma is a symbiosis—the first few chews of Fruit Stripe bubblegum, immediately after puffing a fat bowl of good weed. On the sip, up-front herbs give way to sweet oranges and mangos. Bit of heat, to be expected; alcohols brings forward hop intensity. Bitterness on the lower end, considering the sweetness.”

What the Brewers Say

“Nelson Drip is dry-hopped with Nelson and Cryo Pop.”
