What the brewer says

“The only way to describe this beer is ‘infinitely drinkable.’ This is smooth liquid refreshmen­t with a hint of Centennial hops for fruity notes and low bitterness for an easy finish.”

What our panel thought

Aroma: “Spicy pear and rose esters and light citrus and herbal hops, underlaid by neutral husky malt. Going deeper, it takes on subtle tangerine, grapefruit, and lemongrass hops aromas.” Flavor: “Bright, crisp malt sweetness up front, but well-balanced with fruity esters and floral-hops character. Neither lingers too long. The beer starts very bright and strong but almost immediatel­y mellows and dissipates, encouragin­g more sips. Spicy pear esters, light citrus and herbal hops, and grainy malt lead to a smooth slightly dry finish.” Overall: “Body is as light as most American lagers, but the esters differenti­ate this as an ale. It’s very restrained and confident, not trying to do too much, but every sip is satisfying.”
