What the brewer says

“This was one of the first beers we ever brewed and quickly became one of the most popular. Crisp and subtly sweet, it’s crafted with the session-beer drinker in mind.”

What our panel thought

Aroma: “Moderate tea-like hops up front with underlying grassy and lemon citrus. Then it adds complexity with some smoky, herbal hops followed by grainy malt, sweet bread, and some fruity, tropical hops character.” Flavor: “Hops come through more in the flavor with the herbal and lemon becoming more of a lemongrass character. Malt is still in the background but akin to sweet biscuit. There’s a soapy finish that’s also dry and slightly bitter but not astringent. A light mineral character may be accentuated by the moderate carbonation level.” Overall: “Hops-forward in the aroma while still remaining subtle overall. Enough malt and hops characteristics to be evident but balanced well to complement each other. The tea-like hops seem very subtle and sophisticated. Very drinkable!”
