Welcome our newest addition to the Fate family of beers, and the first brewed at Fate South! This is a super hop-forward but sessionable IPA, featuring Simcoe, Chinook, Centennial, and Columbus hops. A floral nose gives way to a grassy finish that will punch you directly in the face with hoppy goodness. Hop bombs away!

This is about as good as session IPAs get for me (though at 5.3% it kinda seems like the session IPA label is getting a touch stretched). Surprisingly hazy body, glowing in hues of orange. Bitterness is restrained, soft even, but present enough to give the hops some balance. The hops needed bitterness for balance? Indeed, because this is a cornucopia of fruit, melons, tropical, and some light dankness (more herbal/grassy than oniony/garlicky). Easy drinking, satisfying as heck, I sure as heck this becomes a regular in the rotation.
