What Our Editors Thought
“Southern Hemisphere hops drive the aroma with a fresh petrichor swell and a touch of locker-room funk. The dry finish amplifies the pithy fruit and bitterness in the sip.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Notes of leather, horse blanket, and lemongrass in the aroma complemented by oak-like notes and a hint of peach skin. A lightly acidic tropical sweetness and hints of vanilla in the flavor balance a tart, almost astringent bitterness. Finish is decidedly tart.”
What the Brewers Say
“Oak barrel–aged saison with kiwis and quince, Nelson Sauvin Cryo hops.”
