What Our Panel Thought
Aroma: “Very enticing. Peach, mango, orange, lemon, coconut, pine, and hints of candy. Light malt aroma stays out of the way.”
Flavor: “Big tropical fruit character dominates: pineapple, peach, mango, orange, coconut. Body is rich and chewy. Malt is clean. But a mineral character overwhelms everything once you get to mid-palate. It also brings out the bitterness and leads to a dry, astringent finish.”
Overall: “Love the up-front hops character; it’s very distinctive and complex. Seems a bit harsh from dry hopping on the finish, which adds an overly aggressive character. Otherwise, it’s very drinkable, and I would have several of these (except I would get full).”
What the Brewers Say
“The next in our series of single-hop IPAs, this time featuring Styrian Wolf, an exciting new European hop. Crazy notes of pear, cotton candy, mangosteen, and more!”
