I love Long Ride by Confluence. It might be my favorite beer. I don't get the cherries, but other than that I'd say the label is spot on. It looks, smells and feels great. Taste is everything a beer should be. I know I was kind of hard on Confluence for that Laser and Lasso swill, but this one really rocks the house. Sorry my reviews are so free form. I am not a beer snob like some of you.

An almost sour citrus aroma, but I get little in the flavor. This is highly drinkable and I say that in the best possible way. Nice bitter to citrus combo and mild herbal presence.

Poured into 12 oz IPA glass, growler bought from HyVee, dated one week ago.
Look: Looks like your standard APA/IPA, but very clear relative to hazier ales. Orange/Amber color with thick, fluffy head. Plenty of lacing.
Smell: A lot of nose head here. Sour citrus, bitter hop. Powerful smell.
Flavor: Light but amply bitter. Confluence knows how to make hoppy beers without overdoing it. Hop presence is strong, wonderfully bitter, citrus, and some herbal spiciness. Not a lot of dankness- this is a light SPA.
Feel- smooth drinkability, but staying power in the stomach. Refreshing and filling. Not a lot of detectable alcohol.
Overall: Solid, drinkable, sessionable summer ale. Bitter and tasty but not heavy to the point of being burdensome. You can put these back easily on a warm afternoon.

Collab with Single Speed. On tap at Northside Bistro in IC, billed as hoppy lager. Great balance
