What Our Editors Thought

“Gentle aroma touches on wheat field, flint, grapefruit, cranberry, a hint of aged hops. Subtle and nuanced, it asks you to explore rather than presenting obvious answers. Bright citrus notes—lemon, grapefruit, tangerine—buoy the flavor with a controlled but contagious acidity lightly buffered by the substantial body and mineral undertones. Thoroughly elegant in what it doesn’t say. Beautifully blended to balance vibrance and gravitas.”

What Our Panel Thought

“On the nose, nice combination of yeast and bacteria, hitting sweetness, fruit, earthiness with notes of Orange Crush, rosewater, earth, a pleasant rubberiness. Tartness piques the tongue’s interest, but it’s restrained by a clementine sweetness carried on by a big juicy wave of citrus and gumdrop. Clean but not too clean. Unapologetic acidity, but not overdone.”

What the Brewers Say

“A blend of one-, three,- and four-year-old spontaneous beer.”
