4.41/5  rDev +3.8%
look: 4 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.5
Pours vibrant and cloudy yellow orange with a frothy white pillow of a head. Good retention and lacing.

Smells of mostly grapefruit with hints of lemon and lime zest.

Flavor hits hard with grapefruit at first followed by orange and mild notions of vanilla.

The feel is incredibly soft and creamy, full bodied, and has a nice juicy bite with a touch of bitterness.

This beer is outstanding. I could drink this all day, everyday. A real winner of a "collaboration" between two giants. Cheers.

can to snifter (canned 10/13/20); thanks to DC for this one.

LOOK: Darkish yellow color, but bright, gelatinous haze, big creamy eggshell head. excellent retention.
AROMA: light hints of citrus, wood, pine, floral meshing together very nicely. no one attribute stands out.
TASTE: citrus come first, followed by a smooth pine and then mellowed further and slightly embittered by a late biscuit like malt.
FEEL: light to medium body, creamy, pillowy frothy lightness.

Very nice collaboration between 2 of the best.

Poured from a 16 oz can dated 10/23/20 into the test glass
A - Hazy straw color, Gently carbonated, that carbonation collects topside forming a lasting loose froth. Lovely on the eyes.
S - Like a quiet walk through a forest of orange, pineapple, pine, and apricot trees in full harvest season. Add a bit of sweet malt and there you have it.
T - Apricot and orange, with again hints of pineapple, green grape skin, pine, The malt is more expressive but still a supporting act. One that adds to the experience.
M - Soft on the palate, but with all that tropical components, the pine and malts keep this from tilting to the sweet side.
A lovely almost evapratory dry finish.
O - A very nuanced and superbly balanced pale ale, Yes it is full hop display, with more depth than most
I can understand why the label includes " think Hophands meets Edward"

L: Hazy yellow with a foamy head and good lacing.

S: Pungent hop notes, like smelling a bag of hops. Pine, grapefruit, pineapple, and peach.

T: Resinous bitterness, big juicy hop flavors of grapefruit and pineapple. Very subtle malt, just a bready backdrop for the hops.

F: Medium/light bodied with a crisp finish.

Overall: A very hoppy pale ale that is extremely drinkable. Lots of classic hop character combined with fruity yeast notes. Definitely worth getting.
