🌍 France · American Pale Ale · One of 209 American Pale Ales in hopIQ

One of Ninkasi's most beloved core beers. Light amber with a thick off-white head, releasing waves of yeasty brown sugar, malt, and fruit. On the palate: fruity malts, citrus and spice alongside yeast and caramel, finishing crisp and lightly bitter. The beer that introduced a generation of Lyonnais to craft ale.
