What Our Editors Thought

“Caramel-driven aromatics. Cocoa powder, orange, and grapefruit zest continue to build, while the malt sweetness carries through to a soft, approachable finish.”

What Our Panel Thought

“The aroma comes across sappy and resinous with hints of currant and grapefruit. Somewhat sweet malt flavor. Nice structure throughout, with a bitter finish that isn’t as sweet as the first impression.”

What the Brewers Say

“Hopped with Mosaic and Strata. Intense dark berry and stone-fruit aromas.”
