93/100 – Lively and Distinctive: A Review of Cellarmaker Brewing Company’s Lil’ Terp
First off, seeking out this brewery is highly recommended. Their attention to detail and quality control is impressive.
What the Brewers say
There’s an interesting balance with this beer; it’s a blend of Citra, Enigma, and Nectaron, all coming together into something with a distinctly ganja-redolent profile. Notably, this isn’t your typical fragrance. It’s unusual, but in a way, that’s very interesting.
What our Panel thought
My assisting panel particularly appreciated the rich and complex character of the beer. For starters, there’s a lively presence of spicy hop notes intersected with low candy lemon drop, gently touched by a layer of perfume.
Following closely, there’s a delightful hint of orange and strawberry, further accentuated by piney and mildly soapy notes, resulting in a dominant flavor profile. One striking aspect is the perfect balance struck between sweetness and bitterness. While there’s a supporting bitterness, it does a superb job of cutting away the sweetness without making the beer overly dry.
What our Editors thought
From our editors’ angle, they instantly fell in love with the light crisp mineral, tropical fruit, and intriguing cannabis notes in the aroma. They noted a strong thiol lean, contributing to the beer’s uniquely stunning scent.
However, it was the sip that struck a powerful chord with them. The brightness of tangerine and pineapple notes, coupled with a light rounded sweetness, reflected a beautifully controlled energy. This quality came across even more impressively due to the beer’s quirky cadence. It’s this combination that makes the Lil’ Terp a beverage worth interrupting any day for.
Final Thoughts
I’ll admit – a beer is only as good as how it makes you feel after taking that first, and indeed, final sip. Cellarmaker Brewing Company’s Lil’ Terp checks all the right boxes. The dedication and mastery of the brewers shine through every aspect, from aroma to appearance, flavor and beyond, affirming why it deservedly won 93/100 in ratings.
