Benjamin Danklin
Benjamin Danklin is a celebratory IPA that runs on citrus, mango and pine. Chinook, Citra and Simcoe over light caramel and Carapils malts deliver 76 IBU at 7.4% ABV. The numbers are deliberate: starting gravity 17 and 76 IBU tip the hat to a founding father and to July 4th, 1776. Fat Head's brews it from May to August.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Benjamin Danklin
Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.
The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
Drink fresh. Session IPAs are brewed to be consumed young — the hops are at their best now.
