What Our Editors Thought

“Strawberry and pink guava in the nose with subtle lime structure. Bigger malt structure in the sip supports the fruit tones with a tucked-in minty bitterness.”

What Our Panel Thought

“Classic West Coast IPA aroma: piney, citrus, and just enough malt that it’s not a hop-only party. Slightly sweet biscuity flavor gives way to piney resin, with just enough orange-marmalade fruitiness, but that malt backbone persists throughout. Drinks quite smooth and mellow.”

What the Brewers Say

“DDH with Mosaic, Mosaic Cryo, Simcoe, Simcoe Cryo, Strata.”
