What Our Editors Thought
Cucumber, juniper, lychee, kiwi—a refreshing cocktail of tropical deep cuts and quirky fresh hooks. On the tongue, it builds and drops in quick succession, with high-key mild, bitter, and herbal notes exploding into big tropical washes. Deliciously intense.
What Our Panel Thought
Dank, piney, and lightly citrus hops aromas give the impression that this will deliver a hops punch; it doesn’t disappoint. Subtle malt sweetness tempers the assertive hops-derived bitterness. The quite-present aggres-sive hops notes of citrus, green pepper, green onion, and some subtle tropical notes are not altogether harsh. The bitterness lingers in the finish more so than most, and the mild alcoholic warmth seems to accentuate them.
What the Brewers Say
Vic Secret– and Simcoe-hopped.
