Research record
Verdict Tangerine, grapefruit, and floral hops, then juicy citrus, tropical fruit, and pine. The close dries into bitter grapefruit peel and stays there. A crisp, hop-forward nonalcoholic Midwest IPA made through producer-confirmed arrested fermentation, with pine, resin, grapefruit, and a firmly bitter finish. A light-bodied beer with a sweet aroma and noticeable corn character. Easy to drink, but limited flavor and a forgettable finish leave it feeling incomplete. Research record

Likeness Floral hops and citrus in the aroma, then pine and tropical fruit. The dry, bitter close is grapefruit peel, and it lingers. The likeness is that peel and the pine. The juice is the greeting. Convincing IPA depth, with assertive hop bitterness supported by malt. The light body makes it easy to drink, but the limited flavor range leaves it feeling like an incomplete beer. Research record
