What Our Editors Thought

“Red floral tones drive an urgency in the aroma, with some dried berry-skin back notes. Heftier sip with big but attenuated malt notes balanced by a dried floral through line.”

What Our Panel Thought

“Brilliant clarity, with a thick white head and a pale gold color. Nose of biscuits, chalk dust, bread, honey, and rose. Tastes like it smells, with more floral and herbal hop aspects. Full-bodied. Hop bitterness could be ever-so-slightly higher to fully balance and provide that hop bite.”

What the Brewers Say

“Crispy sourdough loaves with fresh herbs and spritzed lemon.”
