What Our Editors Thought
"Orange caramel, orange oil, lightly sweet malt on the nose; classic feel. Sip continues the orange theme: broad citrus. Omnipresent bitterness sneakily evades detection, taking cover under orange camouflage."
What Our Panel Thought
"Moderate orange-pineapple-pine aroma; light floral, grassy notes. Moderate malt sweetness—bready, caramel, honey—with firm bitterness not quite cutting the sweetness. Spicy, grassy hop flavors with lower orange-citrus."
What the Brewers Say
"Dense blend of base malts; massive additions of Cascade hops and a Chinook dry hopping."
