A hoppy alternative for the festive season. Sweet and fruity NEIPA with a gingerbread twist. Knocks your socks off like a grazy reindeer.

Poured light yellow in color, hazy and with a white head.
Sweet pineapple juicy brew, clean though with nice drinkability. Fortunately lactose barely showing. Some fermented fruity notes in finish.
