What Our Editors Thought
“Bright bold thiol-driven hop notes in the nose, tropical with a guava-lychee vibe. Softer in the sip, as malt notes with a bit of earthy tropical bitterness push forward. Not nearly as intense in the sip as the nose suggests.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Aroma offers tropical fruit mixed with dank and catty, lightly bready malt. That combination persists into the flavor, but the intensity lessens. Fruity esters boost the tropical impression. Body is light, crisp, without excessive bitterness. Aftertaste shows earthy, dank notes and a lingering bitterness.”
What the Brewers Say
“Intense peach and citrus hop aromas.”
