Swerve Driver is as pale as the moon, with layers of tropical fruit, lemon zest and pine from a triple dry hop charge of Centennial, Amarillo, and Mosaic. A balanced bitterness, with a lot of body from a base of extra pale malt, wheat, and oats coming in at a bold but drinkable 6.0% ABV. The beer was dry hopped with reckless abandon.

Very decent, this. Strong, hoppy smell and taste has grassy hop, tropical fruit, a little pine and a little floral edge to it as well with a light, refreshing finish. Doesn't taste 6% though so could be dangerous!

Not sure how I'd avoided having this before. It's ace, so will not make the same mistake when I see it again!

Can. Hazy paleish gold beer, tidy pale cream colour head. Soft smooth palate, reasonable fine carbonation. Fluffy malts, nice light sweetness. A good hop profile here but tastes watered down. Spicy citrus and pine but recessed somewhat. Light finish brings a touch of bitterness. Clean and fairly drinkable but leaves you wanting more intensity.
