Light. Hoppy. Bossy. Overqualified, our 2020 Pink Boots Society Collaboration beer, is a hoppy pale lager brewed by a squad of some of Worcester’s most awesome women.
Features a dank and zesty aroma with notes of pine, spice, and lemon, a nicely light body with subtle honey notes, and a dry, fairly bitter finish.
A portion of all sales will go to the Pink Boot Society, which provides education and opportunities for women in the beer industry!

Picked up a four pack of this at the brewery today. Uses that Pink Boots hop blend and Laurel hops, though that just might be part of the blend.
A - Poured into my Duvel tulip a nice crystal clear paler golden hue with a good fat two finger white head that fades slowly to leave a fairly decent amount of sudsy lacing.
S - Aromas of little grassy, earthy hops as well as floral notes. Some spicy hop notes too that are mixed in with doughy notes and really faint pine. Harder swirls bring out an almost spicy onion/garlic before the end of the aroma comes through with definitely dank weed.
T - Taste is similar to the nose with nice floral grassy noble hop characteristics and lager notes before those get absolutely hammerfisted by the aggressive spicy, dank hops. Decent amount of pine and bitterness with some spicy earthiness. As it warms more the finish has a little bit of honey like sweetness and some subtle sweeter candied citrus.
M - Mouthfeel is nicely carbonated, initially, then rather quickly it starts to drop off into a lighter carbonated mouthfeel. You can see it in the tulip when first poured; tons of effervescence up front leads to a much softer carbonation as time goes on.
O - Overall this was a bit of a disappointment. I found the hop choice going on here to be a bit too aggressive, or 'bossy', for the style of a lager. Winds up drowning out the lager notes themselves and what you're left with is just a thinner bodied, lower alcohol, 'easy drinking' pale ale. Ignoring the hops though it was the mouthfeel/body of this can that suffered the most. For some reason the canned lagers from Redemption Rock don't hold their carbonation once poured. This and Three Decker both had really aggressive effervescence when first poured that expunges most of the carbonation by the time one is halfway through the glass. Cans of The Birds or Valley Winter did not have this happen. Bit confusing as to why this is happening as I would prefer to not have to three gulp a 16oz can in order to enjoy it's proper carbonation. Hopefully I get to try this on draft to see if that changes anything.
