Sun at Midnight Hazy IPA – 6.5% ABV · 66 IBU
A juicy paradox in a glass. Brewed with Simcoe and Strata, this hazy IPA glows golden while bursting with passionfruit, strawberry, citrus, and dank berry notes. A soft body from oats and wheat carries the hop intensity, while Verdant IPA yeast unlocks layers of tropical juiciness.

Bright as day, smooth as night.
