What Our Editors Thought

“Aroma remains restrained, with tropical fruit emerging as the beer warms. Orange, grapefruit, and pineapple come through first, followed by a touch of rosewater, and phenolic warmth carrying through the finish.”

What Our Panel Thought

“An alcohol-and-fruit aroma warns of warming to come. Apricot, mango, orange, pine, hints of melon dominate the nose. A touch of sweetness behind the lemon and apricot flavor with alcohol notes on the finish that warm the throat. Big, rowdy beer.”

What the Brewers Say

“Aroma: dankness, melon, berry, pomelo. Flavor: sweet ripe fruit, candied citrus peel.”
