What Our Editors Thought
“Green papaya note—crisp, lush, peppery—like a Thai fruit salad that avoids saccharine clichés. Gentle but spritely sip, brisk and sparkly, with a lingering, unsweet papaya note.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Nose of bitter orange peel, ripe mango, pine, and a low, provocative minty note. The flavor has lesser hop impact. Soft, velvety mouthfeel; the malt could have pushed this further, but for distracting tinges of alcohol and hop burn. Quite enjoyable.”
What the Brewers Say
“Riwaka and Motueka hops join forces with an experimental hop known for its fruity flavors, HBC 586, in this foggy, pale-colored creation.”
