Hopewell Ride or Die (pack of 4) (5.5%)

Hopewell Ride or Die is an American Pale Ale brewed in Chicago by Hopewell Brewing Co., sold in a four-pack of cans. It is built on a soft, restrained malt base intended to let American hop character, citrus and pine in particular, take centre stage. At 5.5% ABV it sits in sessionable territory, with enough structure to stand alone as a pale ale. The aroma brings bright grapefruit peel and pine resin, with bread crust and light caramel malt sweetness. The palate is citrus-driven, with juicy grapefruit, soft bready malt and a well-calibrated bitterness. The finish is dry and clean, with lingering citrus zest and pine resin.
