Purple Haze

Tap to rate

Fruity hop aroma leads Purple Haze, with a bitterness that sits well integrated behind it. This double dry-hopped IPA (6.8% ABV) gets its soft, creamy body from barley, wheat and oat malt, and the barley is Steffi, grown regionally for the brewery and making up all of the barley malt.
