What Our Editors Thought

“Basil and lime drive the aroma with a bright buoyancy. Properly balanced finishing gravity feels refined without being austere, with just enough lightly tannic berry skin. Departs from beer into the cocktail flavor space in a compelling way.”

What Our Panel Thought

“The aroma on this beer has amaro vibes: Bitter herbs and orange express nicely up front with fresh floral aromas. The flavor heads in a different direction with floral, tart berries and bready malt, less orange. Light and fresh, with a quick bitter finish. Saluti!”

What the Brewers Say

“Our Fuzztail American Hefeweizen enhanced with marionberries, calamansi, and Lao basil. The result is something of beauty, not only in flavor but in appearance. Who doesn’t love purple-colored fruit beer with fresh citrus that tastes more like a cocktail than a beer?”
