SPI
A double IPA that bursts with pineapple and passion fruit, built on an enormous quantity of Citra and Simcoe hops and a double dry-hop, designed for dedicated hop lovers. SPI was born in 2020 and draws its inspiration from the regattas of Santander. It is one of Smach's four permanent beers, unfiltered and carbonated naturally.

What is a Double IPA?
IPAs are hop-forward ales with 5.5–7.5% ABV and IBU 40–70+. Bold hop aroma — citrus, tropical, resinous — with firm bitterness and a dry, clean finish.
