What Our Editors Thought

“Fresh-cut grass, lemon pith and zest, light sourdough loaf, and a bit of fresh herbs and wildflowers in the aroma. Equally sunny and bright in the flavor, with light doughy malt playing against vibrant mix of floral and herbal tones. Initial fullness buoyed by significant malt resolves into a subtle, lightly bitter herbal finish.”

What Our Panel Thought

“Awesome diesel and dank herbaceous notes in the aroma are balanced by a super-sexy pop of charred pineapple. That carries all the way through the flavor. The healthy malt body helps handle the feisty but bright bitter notes of orange and pine, with a nice warmth emerging into the lingering finish.”

What the Brewers Say

“West Coast DIPA with Citra, Riwaka, and Mosaic.”
