| Spring Seasonal | |
| Spring Fever | ABV: 5.4% |
| Raspberry-Hibiscus Ale | 17 IBUs |
A sure sign of spring is our seasonal release Spring Fever, a Raspberry Hibiscus Ale that is both tart and tasty, refreshing and delicious. Malt, hops, raspberries and hibiscus flowers conspire to create an easy drinking, fruity beer that celebrates the new season. Consider Spring sprung. | |
| Dry Land Series | |
| Reel Hazy | ABV: 5.7% |
| Hazy Pale Ale | 20 IBUs |
The smooth, lightly toasted bready malts create a solid, creamy foundation for the tropical fruit salad extravaganza to come. Brewed with nothing but the best; Citra, Sultana and Simcoe hops provide a massive amount of mango, bright orange and pineapple, along with subtle hints of pine and vanilla flavors. The lack of actual bitterness makes this pale ale a true session. And, the hop burps are amazing! | |
