Hand Up is an American Style Blond Ale. Lower abv and lighter, easy drinking beer for the warmer weather. It was brewed with Cryo hops (Cryo hops are hops that have had the vegetal material removed and is only the goodies in the hops - i.e. the lupulin, oils and other components responsible for flavor and aroma). So a nice rounded grassy, fruity, and citric character to make the lighter beer interesting to drink.
