This 5.0% collab with Breakside Brewing drinks like a clean getaway beer — smooth, bright, and a little punchy. Tanger and Cascade bring the citrus spark, Mosaic and Mosaic Dynaboost turn up the aroma, and Simcoe keeps it grounded with a subtle piney edge. Everything clicks into place like a well-timed detour, riding smooth from first sip to last while staying crisp and wildly drinkable.⁠

Well, it's hoppy alright with those five varieties. Very light and pale and hopped up, if that's your idea of a side piece. Pleasant subtle aroma of green melon and apricot. Sturdy aftertaste of citrus and watermelon rind. Not at all sweet or malty. I find I'm drinking the whole can since it's not very strong, in spite of the austere and rather bitter reward. Spritzy but not very flavorful. From the 16 oz can purchased at O'Shea Brewing. Dated 02/10/26.
