What Our Editors Thought

“Full, almost nutty aroma with light floral hop notes and a touch of fermentation sulfur. Full-bodied in the flavor without sweetness, as light hops provide a tight balance.”

What Our Panel Thought

“Clean, light malt aromatics with complementary notes of floral and perfume-like hops in the nose. The sip leads with a light corn-like sweetness that quickly fades into a firm but balanced Noble bitterness. Drinks light and crisp, with a nice dry finish.”

What the Brewers Say

“Crisp with crackery malt sweetness and a touch of Noble hop character.”
