What Our Editors Thought
Light white pepper and rustic woodsiness on the nose. The body is effervescent with a tongue-enveloping intensity, but settles into a lightly nutty orange zest note with a bit of sweetness.
What Our Panel Thought
Subtle aroma with woody, floral, lemon-lime-soda notes. Flavor is softer, slightly flabby, low on bitterness; lightly nutty with spicy hops. A savory impression has nowhere to hide. Dry, crisp finish. Drinks very light, without much to say. Pretty clean. Nice lingering bitter-grainy note.
What the Brewers Say
Brewed primarily with pilsner malt and just a kiss of Vienna, then lightly dry hopped with Santiam for pleasant floral notes.
