Vibacious
The brewery's first year-round double IPA, released in March 2023 after a draft debut at Cleveland's basketball arena in 2022. Apollo, Cashmere and Citra hops sit on two-row base malt with wheat and oats, which give a soft, full body, and the bitterness is kept low for the strength. Orange, white grapefruit and lemon open the nose, followed by pineapple, passion fruit and melon. Shortcake-like malt and a touch of honey round out the middle, and the finish turns herbal, with hints of green tea and cedar.

What is a Double IPA?
IPAs are hop-forward ales with 5.5–7.5% ABV and IBU 40–70+. Bold hop aroma — citrus, tropical, resinous — with firm bitterness and a dry, clean finish.
