What Our Editors Thought

“Stunning and gorgeous aroma with notes of ginger, lime, lemongrass, white tea, and white peach. Reserved in the flavor yet expressive with pithy green fruit, a drying herbal bitterness, warm and enveloping tropical floral notes, and a snappy finish with a hit of lemon and lemon rind. Smart yet unpretentious.”

What Our Panel Thought

“Complex and layered aroma, with all the adjuncts detectable: cucumber, basil, yuzu, and ginger. The same combo dances in the flavor. Each addition takes its turn as ginger blends with cucumber, basil plays with yuzu, without anything overpowering anything else. Yuzu sweetness, basil herbal finish, a slight ginger spice, and cucumber holding it all together. Mouthfeel is light, and carbonation is effervescent. A medium body with slight bread malt notes supports all the adjuncts.”

What the Brewers Say

“Soft malt and a snappy, dry finish. Cooling Japanese cucumber, vibrant yuzu, subtle basil, touch of ginger.”
