What Our Editors Thought

“Refined nose—perfumey champagne, a touch of woody forest. On the sip, more soft, integrated woodsy bitterness and dry white-wine grape. Imminently drinkable and hop-forward, without being ‘hoppy.’”

What Our Panel Thought

“Hoppy aroma: floral, spicy, fruity, cedar-like wood, and borderline rubber. Pineapple flavor followed by herbal spice. Light bready malt; bitterness is smooth. Body leans watery, with prickly effervescence. Super-unique profile. Kind of funky. Very complex. A sipper to appreciate rather than a pounder.”

What the Brewers Say

“Perle-, Select-, Tettnang-, and Saphir-hopped Italian-style pilsner.”
