An Ohio-made collaboration with Rhinegeist Brewery. Brewed with Nelson Sauvin and Mosaic Spectrum hops. Pours a deep golden hue with notes of tropical fruit and ripe stone fruit and a soft mouthfeel.

Easy drying hazy. Good initial head and lacing throughout. Excellent mouthfeel: soft like cloud. Low bitterness but nice hop flavor from the Mosaic Spectrum and Nelson. Ripe melon flavor and sweetness rises as it warms up. 8.3% is masked. A very good collaboration beer that tastes like nothing either has made that I know of.

Finally tasting the other half of the collab. Pouring into a pint glass produces a golden, bubbly beer with a solid white head, very classic - until you realize that it's slightly orange and chunky. Ha. It's got a citrusy, melony aroma underneath the hops. Hmm... rather smooth and easy to drink. It reminds me of a melon smoothie, somehow. Feels unique to me. It is very soft. Solid medium body, creamy, alcohol hidden.

Served in a perfect pint glass

This beer pours an orangish yellow hue and is turbid. Chunks are visible from the bottom of the can. I guess I should have kept the can upside down. It is topped with an inch of beige head that leaves nice lacing.

Medicinal and citrus aroma.

Tastes just like it smells, medicinal and citrus

Medium bodies with a creamy mouthfeel

I love Columbus Brewing. This beer is ok. Too medicinal for my liking.
