An easy drinking pale ale that arguably could just be called an IPA. Assertively hopped with Amarillo, Simcoe, and Mosaic 302 (frozen fresh hops oil concentrated with futuristic cryogenic stuff).

ditto the other review (above? below?) this is a can labeled "Fresh Hop Swan Dive Rye Pale Ale."
Dry hopped with Simcoe, Chinook, Mosaic and fresh deep cut Cascade hops. 5.2 abv, canned 10/7/25 - pint can, poured into a tulip.
The rye provides an unusually intense taste component for a pale ale - and it works beautifully. Dry and pleasantly bitter from start to finish.

16oz can served in a curvy Monhegan pint glass. Listing is not super clear whether or not this is a fresh hop beer, but my can says "Fresh Hop Swan Dive." Dated 10/07/25.
Pours clear dark yellow with a medium sized, medium-density head. Smell is resin and honey, cut greens and artichoke hearts.
Taste is bitter and dry with a strong floral sweetness struggling almost vainly to be noticed. Bitterness clearly dominates.
Mouthfeel is light, bordering on thin. Nice beer.
