FIFA, aka French India Farmhouse Ale, is a Farmhouse style IPA brewed specifically for our hometown football club, Bellingham United. This juicy beer initially greets your nose with a spicy array that is blended nicely with pine needles and citrus peels. The palate consists of a heavy dose of white grapefruit, lending a very fun and approachable bitterness. As it washes down, you are left with a nice clean/dry finish that is soft and mellow. This is due to a healthy dose of wheat malt and the artistry behind the use of our unique organic hops.

An interesting and good take on a Belgian Pale/IPA/Saison hybrid. It looks classic Belgian Farmhouse and has a nose with the fruity hints you would expect with hop aroma to cushion it with some citrus or pine underneath. Goes down smooth, not too "belgian" and not too IPA either, but comes to a, what I feel, a good blend of the two styles. Pick it up if you are up in Bellingham.
