Flash Frame
Flash Frame is Grimm's clear American IPA and the brewery's flagship among its non-hazy hop beers. It is unfiltered, yet very pale and brilliantly clear, closer in appearance to a pilsner than to a modern hazy IPA. Nelson Sauvin, Mosaic and Simcoe bring passion fruit, lemon and blueberry over a resinous backbone. At 7 per cent it drinks crisp and dry, much like a stronger pils, and the fruit-driven hop character carries on into the finish.
