Cascabracadabra IPA – 5.8% ABV · 54 IBU
A magical fusion of hops and malt. Brewed with Cascade, Galaxy, and Sabro, this spellbinding IPA conjures flavors of citrus, passionfruit, coconut, and stone fruit, wrapped in a golden-amber pour. Balanced bitterness and a smooth malt backbone make every sip feel like hoppy sorcery.

One sip, and you’re under the spell.
