What Our Editors Thought
“Lightly toasty malt with slightly herbal aroma hops. Light and toasty in the sip, if anything a bit dialed-back in bitterness and hop flavor, but the gentle approach makes it accessible.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Light aromatics of tangerine, lemon, pine, black tea. Subtle hints of caramel-malt sweetness showcase the restrained bitter hop notes of pine and orange marmalade, with hints of rose petal, green tea, and lemongrass. Finish is a perfect mix of bitter and sweet.”
What the Brewers Say
“Features the traditional all-star Cascade plus a few other modern hops.”
