I'm someone who likes hops but doesn't love hops. The hop explosion in beer making has increased hop usage across the board for most styles. I find pale ales to be hoppy but not overboard for me. Hold Please is a really great, hoppy pale ale. It's at a session ABV level too so I can relax and drink a few without getting hammered. All around a very good beer. The hop bill is very nice for my taste.

Canned 6/26/20
Pours a med-larger frothy 1+ finger head with great retention, never seems to fade, whispy lacing, semi hazy golden-tan color
Nose brings light citrus and grassy hops as well as a little dank oniony note, touch of grainy malt
Taste brings some bright hops up front, a little citrus and grassy notes, with more mild dank herbal oniony note again, light grainy malt, med-lighter bitterness, drier finish with a bit more bitterness almost medium level, a touch more dank herbal and citrus rind pithy notes
Mouth is med bod, med-higher foamy carb
Overall not bad, but that dank oniony character was not so nice, thankfully taste was quite low on it, but nose had fair amount, which was unpleasant

16 oz can 4.6 abv.
pours clear amber with no head to speak of
aroma is muted citrus and dank
Taste follows the nose with hints of citrus, it's dry hopped but hop profile is not listed, uneducated guess is Citra
mouthfeel is crisp and clean with a lingering astringent like bite
overall not a bad representation of a pale ale
good beer
