Mighty hop character and just 95 calories … that can’t be possible. Oh, but it is! After a year of R&D and months of fine-tuning what seemed to be unimaginable, Slightly Mighty is finally here! This true indie craft beer has all the character of a world class IPA, but with only 95 calories, 3.6g carbs, 1g protein and 0g fat per 12oz serving. Seriously.
But how? Digging deep into our culinary roots, we found our answer in an ancient Chinese delicacy - monk fruit. Sweeter than sugar per ounce, monk fruit amplifies the body and complexity of the beer, yet contains no calories. Whereas most IPAs start with a formidable malt bill to balance hoppy bitterness with malty sweetness, Slightly Mighty goes about it a different way – all through the magic of monk fruit. Most light beers are watery and lack body, but with Slightly Mighty, the monk fruit essentially acts as the beer’s skeleton, on which mighty hop muscle and flavor can be built. It allows us to reduce the malt bill and avoid any unnecessary unfermentable sugars, and consequently deliver a beer that is lower in calories and carbs, and perfectly balanced.
The result is a hazy gold lo-cal IPA that throws tropical notes of pineapple, coconut, mango and citrus, all while delivering an aromatic hoppiness that makes it oh-so drinkable. Brewed with ‘lo-cal’ly grown malted barley, Slightly Mighty is dynamic and crisp with a refreshing hop profile.

White can as pictured. $2 at vintage. Very bitter and very fizzy. Rude, like many IPA, perhaps a little veggie in there. What does monk fruit taste like? I'll have tah git one from the grocers. Anyway, this is simply a big bitter beer and if monk fruit is supposed to sweeten it, I'm not sure. What ever. Nasty nellie. Smells like contemporary IPA.

Sampled from the tap at First Draft Minneapolis. Pours a clear yellow gold with a white head that dissipates slowly to the edges. Aroma has soapy grass and a bit of citrus rind supporting. Flavor has sweet grains and light sweet fruits with a hint of grass underlying.
