I bought this to bring home, but a thunderstorm hit so I’m drinking it at a covered park bench on the shore of Lake Ontario. Ain’t got nothing else to do for the next hour while I wait this out. Some nice bright floral hops, clean pale malt. I was unable to ascertain the nature of the Bale Breaker collab, as one isn’t normally allowed to take fresh agricultural products across the border…but yet what brewer hasn’t gone to Yakima to get themselves sorted and simultaneously made friends at Bale Breaker? I will say that the malt base here is better than in any of the lagers I had on tap, as is the hop brightness. If you’re going to kill an hour under a covered bench in a thunderstorm on the shores of Lake Ontario, this beer makes a good option.
