KISMET (3.5%)
Session Hazy IPA
Experience the magic of Kismet, a hazy session IPA where destiny meets flavor. Brewed with Styrian Wolf, Simcoe, and Cryo Columbus hops, this beer pours a brilliant yellow/gold haze topped with a creamy white head. Fate has blessed this brew with dank piney aromas that draw you in, while notes of citrus and lemongrass dance on your palate, harmonizing with a gentle bitterness. The smooth, medium body and crisp finish make Kismet the perfect companion for any moment meant to be. Embrace the serendipity in every sip. Cheers to fate!
