    Feeling Lucky? Then ante up and get in on the biggest game in town...Ace of Spades IPA. This is no ordinary homebrew. The deck is stacked with a whole lotta hops. Four of a kind, in fact Magnum, Chinook, Centennial and Citra. And get ready for the bluff, because this session brew drinks lighter than it appears. You won’t find roasted coffee or bittersweet chocolate here, just smooth malty caramel with a touch of toast, and an intense hop presence with pine, citrus and fruity notes that stand no chance of getting lost in the shuffle. Play your cards right? There’s no way to play them wrong with this kit. Any way you brew it, you’ll be coming up aces.
