What Our Editors Thought

"Subtle pale grain aroma with light stone fruit esters, and a touch of woodiness. Full in the flavor with a light tannic bitterness that amplifies its weight."

What Our Panel Thought

"Floral aroma, light pear. Quite lovely and spring-like. Light cracker and pie crust. Yellow, nearly brilliant. Good head. Quite aggressively malty and bitter for style. Notable biscuit and pie crust body is more filling than refreshing. Bitterness is fairly pronounced and balances the malt nicely. Some light berry esters. Light spicy phenol resides in the hop aftertaste, not yeast-derived. A good beer, if heavy-handed in its approach to flavor."

What the Brewers Say

"An ale that is lagered or cold-conditioned to highlight the fruitiness of ale yeast but offer a clean mineral forward beer. Aroma of pear, mint, and oyster cracker."
