Each spring, hop growers dust off their pruning shears and trim the first shoots, bolstering the bines for a rich growing season. First Cut – a mouthful of silky Simcoe and a touch of mango – is a nod to this ritual, without which the world would be a less hoppy place.

12 oz bottle from Sparrow-Downtown. Pours a slightly hazed darker orange color with a sheeting, frothy off-white head. Aroma and flavor are fruity and sweet. Light hops. Drinks a little thin with a decent mouthfeel. Finishes just a little bitter. Drinks so easily. Torn on this one, I like some parts of it quite a bit. A little too sweet, a little thin. and the aroma is a little muted, yet, I somehow still quite like drinking it. Like I said, torn.

Nice mango nose, subtle taste. Bit dry.
