Road Trippin'

Tap to rate

Road Trippin' is an extra pale ale and one of the original Bullhouse recipes, inspired by a journey across the United States. Citra and El Dorado give bright citrus aromas and juicy tropical fruit, followed by a light body and a crisp, refreshing finish with a zesty edge. Hop character and drinkability are kept in balance; the brewery names it as its best seller in this style.
