Rhinegeist brews it in Cincinnati's Over-the-Rhine district, inside a former bottling plant.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Half Truth
Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.
The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
Drink fresh. Session IPAs are brewed to be consumed young — the hops are at their best now.
