Seismic Sue
Mango, orange and pineapple lead this triple IPA, hop-forward with a bite, and a grapefruit aroma rounds off the finish. Citra is the featured hop. At 9.8% ABV it sits a full step above King Sue's 8.2%. The U.S. Open Beer Championship gave it Gold in 2023 and Bronze in 2025, both in the Triple IPA category.
