A juicy yet light-bodied IPA with notes of grapefruit and passionfruit, Brighten Up squeezes its vibrant character from a blend of four hop varieties and finishes crisp and clean. When sip happens, Brighten Up!

On tap at Reuben’s, pours a clear pale golden with a small white head. Aroma is full of diacetyl, piney hops, and biscuity malt. Flavour has some butter, piney hops, and crisp biscuity nalt. Too much butter for me to get past. Needs fixing.

On tap at Reuben's - Ballard. Pours clear light gold with a white head. Stale pine and locker room on the nose. Flavour has stale pine, locker room, and an oily coating of diacetyl. Unfortunate.
