Out of stock
Donner Vs Blitzen Winter IPA is a bold holiday IPA with a crisp malt backbone, bright Centennial hop bite, and enough winter attitude to rattle the roof.
- Big Centennial hop character brings citrus, floral, and piney bitterness to the front.
- Layered malt flavor from Pilsner malt, Crystal 40, Smooth LME, and Grand Bohemian Czech Pilsner extract adds body, color, and balance.
- Strong 7.1% ABV gives this winter IPA a warming finish without losing drinkability.
- Firm 85 IBU bitterness makes this a great seasonal pick for hop fans who want something bolder than a standard holiday ale.
Malty, hoppy, and ready to rumble, this winter IPA keeps the reindeer chaos but finally gives the beer its moment in the spotlight.
