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.

Light gold pour. Nice blonde beer. Thin foam. Fruit and wheat hop nose. Pineapple, melon, and apple subdued flavor. Nicely mixed with a sweet hop palate

Subtle lemongrass nose. Hazy yellow, thin head. Lilly, new plastic, lemon zest. Apricot finish. Citrusy and not in your face. Surprisingly complex but very sessionable.

4 week old can A: Pours a sallow pale hazy yellow with a short, coarse head that fell rapidly. S: Muted sweet cake and lemon soda scent. T: Flavor lacks depth though some wheat cracker mingles with gentle citrus and tropical fruit notes. Not quite but almost seltzery. M: Lively carbonation, light crisp, and very clean dry and crushable. O: OK but ultimately disappointing. I know it's a summer pool beer but this type of flavor can be had from a 3.8% low-cal beer. I expect much more from a 5.4% APA.
