Overview Widmer is best known for basically inventing the American hefeweizen style in the mid-80s, and recently joined forces with Redhook Goose Island, and Kona Brewing to form the craft beer equivalent of the Traveling Wilburys.

Flavors and aromas Our panel was delighted with the American-styled Broken Halo IPA. What it lacks in in-your-face power, it makes up in impeccable balance, beginning with a complex blend of citrus aromas—our panel listed nearly every citrus fruit grown in North America—before shifting on the tongue to a harmonious blend of hops, bitterness, and supporting malt. The bitterness always leads the malt here, but there are no hard edges to this beer. A wonderfully balanced, calm IPA.
