What Our Editors Thought

Orange, lime, and kiwi suggest sweetness on the aroma, and the flavor follows through with equal parts sweet fruit and palate-cleansing bitterness, for a remarkably balanced and enveloping beer that splits the dif-ference between dominant styles.

What Our Panel Thought

Inviting pine, orange, tangerine, and grapefruit hops aromas with subtle hints of green onion, strawberry, and passion fruit. The flavor is a balance of subtle caramel-malt sweetness and bitter hops-derived flavors of peach, tangerine, light resin, and subtle herbal notes. The finish is dry and bitter, but not harsh or astringent, with a mouth-coating nature.

What the Brewers Say

Brewed with freshly ground whole-flower hops that bring notes of drippy tropical fruit, radiant peach, and sweet stone fruit.
