The Vibe

Tap to rate

The Vibe is a hazy pale ale that the brewery describes as soft and easy-going. Juicy hops and tropical fruit set the direction, joined by layers of citrus, a herbal hop note and gentle stone fruit. The body is smooth, the impression bright and refreshing. It is not counted among the core beers but has been brewed repeatedly since 2022.
