Generously dry-hopped with Amarillo and Simcoe for a bright, piney punch, 1500 brings together orange blossom and grapefruit notes with a touch of honey sweetness. We don’t like choosing favorites, but 1500 is our perfect everyday hoppy beer.

On tap at the Office. Pours a clear gold with an orange hue with a white head that dissipates to to the edges. Aroma has a good amount of grass with earthy grains and a hint of earthy pine. Flavor is very similar with grass supposed by earthy grains and earthy pine.
