🌍 United States · Fruit Ale · One of 1 Fruit Ales in hopIQ

A pale ale brewed with strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and blackberries. Fruity, tart and surprisingly complex — not a cider, not a juice, but a serious craft beer that happens to taste like summer. One of Michigan's most distinctive beers.
