What the brewer says

“Whether you’re taking a break from a hard day of work or just a huge day of hops, this crisp refreshing beer with a hint of orange will lift your spirits without lowering your expectations for what a craft beer should be.”

What our panel thought

Aroma: “Coriander and herbal hops crossed with a wit with faint flinty notes at the tail end. Smells like a spring garden filled with light grapefruit, lemon peel, apple, grape, and pear.” Flavor: “Husky malt character that evolves into a mild biscuity sweetness. Some mild hops notes, but a distinct minerality that’s a bit distracting. Light carbonation with a smooth and creamy mouthfeel. Slightly bitter on the finish and lacking crispness.” Overall: “Seems more like a hoppy wit than a Kölsch. Still, if you’re in the mood for a thirst quencher, this would be a good one to reach for.”
