What Our Editors Thought
“The softest passion-fruit notes fill the aroma, juicy and rich, with very light tropical-floral highlights and a slight sulfur tinge. Neutral malt in the flavor plays against the mineral structure, for a full mouthfeel that remains tightly controlled.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Really impressive fruity aroma, with notes of strawberry, cantaloupe, and lemongrass, and a bit of dank. Flavor bears the same fruit expressions and offers some hop bitterness in delicate balance. Each sip is light and refreshing despite being packed with so much flavor. A bitterness and slight acidity on the finish makes you want to immediately reach for another sip. Drinks dry and crisp, with a medium-low body.”
What the Brewers Say
“New Zealand IPA celebrating the great New Zealand hop breeder, Ron Beatson.”
