What Our Editors Thought

Perfumy citrus notes on the nose layer over bready malt notes for classic appeal, and while malt-forward, the crisp sip offers a touch of citrus sweetness quickly resolved by the lingering medium bitterness.

What Our Panel Thought

The nose is as much about bready/toasty malt as it is hops. What hops there are offer a light orange, ac-companied by some cherry ester. The flavor offers a similar combination, but the citrus hops flavor is deeper, with hints of lemon and lime.

What the Brewers Say

This double dry-hopped IPA is made with five different hops and five different malts creating a very complex, yet well-balanced, IPA.
