American IPA – Liquid Mechanics Brewing Company
Everyone has their take on the IPA style and what it should or shouldn’t be – this is a beer that can help you explore what it means to you. With it’s low ABV it felt like the perfect opportunity to discover new subtleties within the hazy IPA genre.

Visual: Hazy Gold with hints of orange.
Aroma: Citrus but of the sweeter variety intermixed with traditional piney hop notes.
