Madtree Brewing Heroes

LOC: Cincinnati, Ohio ABV: 7% | IBUS: 68 | SRM: N/A

What the brewer says

“All the juicy fruit hops with none of the harsh, lingering bitterness. With a hazy, orange color, Heroes is an easy-drinking IPA, exploding with notes of citrus and stone fruit in every sip. The first release in the Sensorium Series.”

What our panel thought

Aroma: “Sweet tropical aromas of orange, peach, pear, tangerine, lemon, grapefruit, over-ripe apricot, and some spicy alcohol notes. Slight pine and earthy notes as it opens up.” Flavor: “Nice tropical-fruit blend: papaya, coconut, orange, light lemon. Grassy here, too. Mild astringency, and oncoming hops bitterness is a good balance to the sweetness of the initial taste. Finish is smooth and slightly sweet but fairly quick to fade.” Overall: “Good balance of flavors that welcomes the drinker to enjoy a second.”
