What Our Editors Thought
“White wine–grape nose is rollicking and playful. Sip gets down to business with a firm bitterness softened by gentle white-grape notes with a candy edge. Big, but conveys cleanly with a tightly edited accessibility.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Restrained nose with hints of wine grape as it warms, coupled with graham- cracker malt and a whisper of earthy hops. Grape tannins emphasize bitterness well without being overbearing. Medium hop flavor—resin, woody, floral, black pepper, garlic. Finishes very dry.”
What the Brewers Say
“Nelson Sauvin hops and pressed Sauvignon Blanc grapes were added.”
