What Our Editors Thought

“Plantain, lime Runts candy, and kiwi notes on the nose, with a crisp tropical edge. The flavor feels pedestrian by comparison, as sharper bright floral notes layer over tight carbonation and a very gentle tropical bitterness, but no real fruit to speak of.”

What Our Panel Thought

“Sweet, clear notes of candied orange peel and lemon drop with fainter green-dank notes. A firm, quick, and clean bitterness drives into a dry finish. Crisp as all-get-out. Some carbonic bite. Refreshing, clean, addictive, without being hugely expressive.”

What the Brewers Say

“No fruits. No flavorings. No shortcuts.”
