What Our Editors Thought

“Stewed peach, a bit of oaky vanilla, and overripe tropical fruit in the aroma. Plush and full in the sip, sweetened by oxidation.”

What Our Panel Thought

“Rich hop character up front: old-school (grassy, pine), with some modern layers (peach, white grape). A smooth toffee sweetness leads the way to a finish with stone fruit, resin, and orange-peel bitterness. Maybe a bit sweet on balance, but it brings considerable bitterness on the finish.”

What the Brewers Say

“Strawberry, bright pink winter grapefruit, fresh juniper bushes.”
