What Our Editors Thought
"Rolling mineral, pomegranate, and guava aroma with a sunny tone. Lean and direct in the flavor with light tropical fruit, low bitterness, and a pithy structure that holds it together."
What Our Panel Thought
"Light fruity aroma—white grapes and pears. Fruity, tropical notes in the aroma meld well with some more dank notes to create an inviting nose. Low white bread malt provides a neutral background for the medium hop aroma. The sip presents with an initial sweetness that quickly yields to a grape skin-like bitterness along with notes of green tea. Flavor is light, clean, slightly tart. Hops provide fruit notes and some floral finish. The finish is lightly crisp and dry with a lingering smoothness. Overall, an easy-drinking, refreshing pale ale with a faint tart finish and lingering clean bitterness."
What the Brewers Say
"New Zealand pale brewed with Our Mutual Friend, using Root Shoot malt, Nectaron, Riwaka, and Citra hops."
