What Our Editors Thought

“Herbal-tinged mango and papaya in the aroma with a light hit of green banana. Lean and peppery in the sip with a very brief bitterness.”

What Our Panel Thought

“A pleasant hit of diesel on the nose with a light tangerine behind. Moderate bitterness up front with a big grapefruit hop charge, followed by a slightly rounded body. Dry without being harsh. Light-bodied. Effervescent carbonation.”

What the Brewers Say

“Extra pale ale with notes of dank tropical fruit and an undercurrent of citrus zest and piney bitterness.”
