Bright Vibes
4 Hands' everyday IPA — the one that sits alongside the City Wide line when the beer needs a bit more punch. Bright citrus and stone-fruit hop notes over a clean bready base, moderate bitterness, dry finish. Bright Vibes is what an American IPA reads like when the brewery isn't trying to prove anything. Approachable and honest.
