The bouquet is warm and inviting, with a lively earthy-hop presence alongside accents of pine, citrus peel and chicory root. Effervescent and forward, the palate starts off sweet and rich in notes of chocolate malt, crusty breat and roasted grain, while hop bitterness and grapefruit peel take hold of the finish. The medium-weight body is approachable, and coupled with the medium carbonation, it's surprisingly easy to drink for a beer at almost 7% abv. Lauren Buzzeo

What Is Blind Tasting?

All tastings reported in the Buying Guide are performed blind. Typically, products are tasted in peer-group flights of from 5-8 samples. Reviewers may know general information about a flight to provide context—vintage, variety or appellation—but never the producer or retail price of any given selection. When possible, products considered flawed or uncustomary are retasted.
