What Our Editors Thought

“Gorgeous, huge Nelson Sauvin nose—kiwi and guava, with a tropical, pink-floral freshness. For a beer this size, the flavor is remarkably restrained—light pepper and tropical fruit notes glide effortlessly over the light malt base.”

What Our Panel Thought

“Mango, peach, orange on the nose; a decent garlic-and-onion sneaks in there to distract from the fruitiness. Body is light for the ABV. Balances well against the bitterness. Finishes clean with a moderate, clean, lingering bitterness.”

What the Brewers Say

 “Double dry-hopped West Coast double IPA with Nelson hops.”
