Dude I am a bit shocked Fieldwork put their name on this, but then again, their pricing structure tells me profit is a big motivator, and that is cool and all, but you know, this cuts against that stuff.

Pours a dark almost light brown color. The head is a legit 1/2" tight bubbled head, prolly the best thing this beer does. The aroma was mostly dust, caramel, woodiness, hops seem like a distant concept in the nose, much less dry hopping.

Taste is mostly malty characteristics, but there is this overarching bitterness that is frankly, kinda brutal because it has almost no hop flavor to go along with it. Just dump a bunch of pennies in a light brown ale to recreate this beer kind of feeling.

I guess one of the other only upsides was this was slightly cheaper than the usual high price point for a Fieldwork beer. But even then, quality/cost ratio, this is still a hard pass ever again. Easily the worst hoppy Fieldwork-esque beer I've ever come across, and it wasn't even close.

Not much flavor in this beer. Really bland, but not bitter. Not one I’d purchase again. Commercial hazy ipas are much cheaper & most are more tasty than this. Probably shouldn’t have tried this after a Moonraker. One positive is that it is very smooth and grows on you after the first few sips.

Wow.... Surprised to see fieldwork on the shelves, realized it was this collab.

FW's collabs have been meh.... They do fine alone, I feel this and the 21A collab were just ok, but nothing special at all....

Still love Fieldwork, but this beer was nothing I'd buy again...
