What Our Editors Thought
“Lambic-like aged-hop note in the nose, with flashes of tropical fruit. Sweeter with a strong mineral line in the sip. Funk-forward.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Aroma is a cheesy marijuana strain—pungently savory and sulfury. New World hops lend additional citrus right out of the gate with a tart acidic punch that flows into a floral delicacy of grapes and light biscuity malt. Finish is surprisingly clean and smooth for such a piquant burst of flavor.”
What the Brewers Say
“Mixed-culture saison aged in pinot noir barrels with chenin blanc grapes.”
