What Our Editors Thought

“Pine and fresh-cut grass on the nose. Early bitterness with a touch of malt sweetness across the palate, while floral lemon brightness and light minerality carry into an attenuated finish.”

What Our Panel Thought

“Saltine-cracker malt aroma with a honey hint quickly takes a backseat to fruity, herbal hops—bright citrus, pine, puckering grapefruit. Fresh and zesty. Despite the bold aromatics, drinks clean and smooth—spritzy, light, full of fresh hop flavor.”

What the Brewers Say

“A game-day pick that doesn’t miss, with clutch citrusy hops and a clean finish.”
