What Our Editors Thought
“Bready malt aroma with a hint of baking spice and orange zest. Grippy American-hop citrus and pine push forward in the sip, toned down from typical pale-ale territory, but nicely structuring the malt-forward flavor.”
What Our Panel Thought
“A tarry licorice aroma with a citrus swirled in. Decadent dark-chocolate cake batter in the flavor, balanced by an equal helping of citrus hops. Desserty molasses with orange peel expressed over the top.”
What the Brewers Say
“An ode to a traditional English brown. Delicate body, dry finish, flavors of toffee, dark fruit.”
