Brewed in the deep end, this beer is built for breaking into your neighbor's pool for some summertime day drinking, or for kicking it on the back deck with nothing to do. Hazy, fruity, and light on both bitterness and ABV, Pool Hopping embodies everything you love about summer. So order some new swim trunks, practice your cannonballs, and we'll meet you at the diving board.

Blue water colored can for a couple of bucks at chalet premier, nice place. Mildly cloudy lemon aid looking thing. You would think this would be a friendly lager but no, I guess the title of hopping should have given me a clue. It is hopped but not as much as an IPA. First impression is that the taste is a little like your favorite lovers BO, no shit. Its not eye pee aye in intensity but some of that stupid-id IPA characteristic is always present. Come now, if want a a pool hangin beer, something less than 5%; is FD just looking for a name that sells? Don't trust a book by its cover. There you have it. Is that a rooster I interpret on the label? Just asking. Well, no, now that I look at it. Its a chicken, oh well, stupid ass label.

35cl Blik van Vonk. Bleekgele kleur, witte kraag. Aroma en smaak van aspartaam, kunstmatig, mandarijntjes, sinaspril, waterig, zelfs voor 5.4%. Lichte body. Geen feest.

12 ounce can. Hazy pale gold color. Small bubbly white head disappears quickly. Fragrant biscuit malt nose hints at fresh lemons. First sip is light biscuity malt and lemon peel. Light bodied but flavorful. Crisp malty flavor throughout. Some spiciest in dry finish.
