What Our Editors Thought

A crisp clean nose hints at red peach and cantaloupe while a medium bitterness in the sip feels properly in place and substantial in weight as it nicely balances the fruit, ethanol, and malt sweetness.

What Our Panel Thought

Very restrained aroma, hints of toast and light citrus. Citrus and pine hops flavors with a pleasant, clean, and aggressive bitterness on the finish. Great balance, lingering toast and resinous bitterness. Bold bright flavors with great balance throughout. A down-to-earth classic DIPA.

What the Brewers Say

Strong peach and apricot notes with nuances of berries, cantaloupe, and citrus. Mild malt backbone balances and complements the hops presence for a full-bodied, bold IPA.
