Tap to rate

Bright citrus opens into tropical fruit and finishes on a touch of apricot in this hazy IPA, hopped with Citra, Simcoe, Mosaic and El Dorado. It runs 6.0% ABV and 35 IBU with a smooth, crushable body. The name salutes Philadelphia, the city that made Victory, and the beer is meant to give back to local community organizations.

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
