Ride or Die
Hopewell Brewing Co.

 

 

 

 

Poured from a can into a pint glass. Pours orange yellow with a small white head. Smells of bright citrus with a nice pine afternote. Tastes of nice pine and citrus notes, nicely balanced. Beer is light bodied and easy drinking, good carbonation. Overall, a very good beer.

An easy drinking pale ale. An old-school APA tasting/smelling of pine and grapefruit. It’s a little thin, but not overly so. A nice beer that I’d happily revisit.

 

 

Clear copper/gold color with a 2 inch off white head that lasts and produces lots of sticky lacing.
The aroma is light caramel malt, citrus and pine.
The taste is bread crust, caramel and grapefruit. The finish is dry with lingering citrus zest and pine resin, moderate bitterness.
The body is medium, good carbonation level, fairly smooth and very drinkable.
Altogether, this is a pretty decent brew, good balance, fairly tasty and refreshing, should go well with most food and light enough for a session.

 

 

 

16oz can. Poured out a clear, golden amber color with a small, off-white head of foam. It left sudsy trails of lace. It smelled of bready malt, caramel, citrus and pine. Sweet caramel taste with biscuity malt and a citrusy bite.

 

Copper color with excellent clarity. There’s a quarter inch of frothy off white. Moderate, soapy lacing is present. There’s a bit of pine and plenty of biscuity malt in the nose. I’m tasting biscuity malt with a brief pine flourish. The mouth is dry and crisp.

 

 

 

Canned 12/7/22; drank 1/14/23 @ the Yarchives.

See-through dark orange appearance.

A rough pour yielded a nice white head; a thick curtain of tree-rung lace.

Lemon & mild artisan soap notes in the nose.

Medium mouthfeel.

Pineapple, caramel & pine flavors.

A bit too bitter for me, but enjoyable. I'd have another!
