Featuring the clean and crisp fermentation profile of a German-inspired lager with the in-your-face tropical fruit, citrus, and dankness of a New West Coast IPA.
tHE NAME
Not a drug reference! We had a bunch of leftover partial hop bags from previous brews that all needed a home. Luckily, this “new” style of beer has become popular in recent years and is very delicious.
