What Our Editors Thought
Instantly appealing contemporary hops nose of pineapple and lime, and an earthy funk touch. Stunning, juicy sip, with pineapple, mango, and well-appointed acidity. Contemporary expression, elegant approach, remarkably fun.
What Our Panel Thought
Bright IPA-like nose: tropical blend of mango, pineapple, grapefruit, papaya, dragonfruit. Mango and lemon flavors, grapefruit and lime zest, with lightly bracing acidity and lactic punch. Light bitterness works well here. Citrus-forward; soft tartness at one with the fruit, especially as the finish fades into orange pulp. Nicely balanced.
What the Brewers Say
Blonde ale fermented with Brettanomyces and souring bacteria. Dry hopped with Galaxy and Mosaic.
