What Our Editors Thought
“A touch mousey and grainy in the nose, with vague tropical-fruit notes. Vibrant and energetic in the sip, with bold tropical bitter notes and a sweet tropical-fruit background that finishes with a reassuring smartness.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Woody, weedy notes dominate the nose with citrus sneaking through. Herbal notes, mainly basil, in the flavor, enhanced by the malt richness and alcohol. Hop bitterness and alcohol wash away sweetness.”
What the Brewers Say
“Dank hop flavors but with a touch of NZ funk from Freestyle Nelson. Dry, snappy, crushable.”
