What Our Editors Thought
“Quirky—chalky orange-pineapple notes in the nose give way to purple cotton candy, pineapple smoothie, and juicy orange in the sip. The alcohol heat is palpable with a slightly medicinal edge, yet the bitterness doesn’t quite rise to the occasion.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Forest pine and resin notes dominate the aroma at the expense of tropical/fruit hop character. Flavor falls in line but adds some intense sweetness while a surprising bitterness adds a layer. More barleywine character than hazy IPA.”
What the Brewers Say
“Simcoe-, Strata-, and NZH-102-hopped, plus Phantasm, triple India pale ale.”
