What Our Editors Thought

“The nose leads with bright tropical fruit for a new-school feel, and the sip follows through with dry but convincing tropical notes and a soft tropical bitterness. Lean and light, with a compelling tropical crispness.”

What Our Panel Thought

“A bit dark for a West Coast IPA, but the orange, kiwi, and pineapple aroma hints at New Zealand hops with a hint of guava. The flavor follows the aroma, with a lower bitterness dominated by toasty and slightly grainy malt notes. An easy drinker.”

What the Brewers Say

“Grapefruit, orange, and a breeze of floral aromatics presage a robust and hop-forward IPA.”
