What Our Editors Thought

"High-key guava and passion-fruit notes bathe the nose in light. That lightness pushes the contrast in the sip, at the expense of mid-tone values—blown out between blazing top-fruit notes and a sharply defined bitter end."

What Our Panel Thought

"Bright, citrusy, floral nose—orange blossom, hint of vanilla. Flavor starts bright and sweet on rich malt—juicy tang drops into earthy, grassy, pine-tree-sap medium hop bitterness. Some sweetness and resin linger."

What the Brewers Say

"Flavors and aromas of tropical fruit, mango, and passion fruit from the Citra and Mosaic hops."
