🌍 United States · American IPA · One of 323 American IPAs in hopIQ

RAR's flagship, named for the Nanticoke River that flows into the Chesapeake near Cambridge — Citra and Mosaic give a hazy amber-gold pour with a tropical, citrus-forward nose of passion fruit, grapefruit, and mango, followed by a smooth resinous bitterness and a clean, dry finish. Eastern Shore pride in a pint.

Tulip glass
Recommended for this style

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.

Store in a cool, dark place. Check the best-before date on the label for guidance.
