🌍 Italy · Blonde Ale · One of 4 Blonde Ales in hopIQ

Archea's approachable golden ale — named after the nymph who nursed Zeus, and the everyday sessionable companion to the bold Hydra. Light, refreshing, and floral with a gentle malt sweetness and a crisp finish. The perfect Florentine beer for long lunches with bistecca alla fiorentina — a golden ale that has built quiet loyalty at one of Italy's most beloved craft brewpubs.
