Ho Ho Hope for the Kids is a holiday spin on No Hope for the Kids. The biggest difference is a portion of the can sales will be donated to a different youth charity in CT each year! Dry hopped with a blend of Columbus, Mosaic, and Simcoe, this version lends bright grapefruit aromas with distinct stone fruit and pine flavors. This year a portion of proceeds will benefit the Connecticut Children's Foundation.

Canned 10/31/24, drunk 12/10/24. Moderately hazy, brass-maize-golden. Large, white head, slowly recedes to cover. Fruity, lightly juicy nose with lots of citrus and light pine, but no twang/resin. White bread and honey base malts provide good balance. No onion/garlic, but lots of spicy lemon, lemongrass, light woody notes and mild pine. Tons of fruity, lightly juicy citrus and deep malts with good attenuation. Very good balance and flavor.

Can (11/9/20) pour. Appearance is cloudy dark yellow-light brown with no discernible sparkle, thin cap of off-white foamy head with fair retention and decent leggy lacing. Aroma is mild pine, citrus and fruit. Taste is pine, citrus over malt base. Mouthfeel is medium side of light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, average-to-lively carbonation (stinging the tip of my tongue) and crisp, dry finish as taste. Overall, toward the end of its freshness period so not as intense as it should be. Otherwise, glad it benefits a good cause but no new ground covered here and over carbonated.
