What Our Editors Thought

“Restrained lychee-mango nose gives way to a brisk and taut tropical bitterness, lightly supported by a minimalist body. The balance is there—on the very light side—and while the quality of bitterness leans on that tropical edge during the sip, glimmers of tropical fruit peek out of the sides as it lingers for a light respite. Precise without losing its soul and spark.”

What Our Panel Thought

“Very clean and well-made, with restrained but effective ingredient choices. Pours a clear, almost brilliant yellowish deep straw—very attractive. While not over the top in terms of hop aroma and flavor, it does have a solid bittering punch with a long, dry finish and hoppy aftertaste. Medium grassy grapefruit and slight piney, both in aroma and flavor, with no conflicting malt character—the hops are the star without being in your face. Hop flavor is slightly restrained, creating such a nice presentation. Quite an approachable IPA that does not disappoint.”

What the Brewers Say

“Cold IPA with Mosaic, Ekuanot, and Amarillo.”
