Meet Legswap, Shinebright, Insideout and Graciosa

Legswap

As part of our seasonal core, Legswap (4%) Raspberry & Lime Sour was released last summer and is inspired by the Raspberry-Lime Rickey cocktail. Its fizzy, tart, and sweet characteristics made this beautifully expressed beer version. A rich berry explosion rounded off with the sour tang of refreshing lime. Crispy, featuring a gorgeous red hue and a clean, citrusy flavor that’ll keep you coming back for more.

Shinebright

Shinebright (6%) New England IPA is a big, bright, cloudy, smooth, and juicy NEIPA that effortlessly blends the tart bitterness of Comet hops with the juicy, tropical aromas of Citra hops. Comet to the whirlpool and dry-hopped with some more Comet and tons of Citra. Shinebright boasts with bright juicy mandarin and citrus aromas, balanced bitterness, and finishes with a soft, silky mouthfeel.

Insideout

Insideout (5%) New England Pale Ale: probably our favorite hop pairing, we loaded this hazy delight with a king’s ransom of Mosaic and Simcoe hops, yielding lovely notes of bright juicy tangerine, citrus, and pine aromas. Mosaic to the whirlpool and double dry-hopped with some more Mosaic and Simcoe. Insideout is silky, with a smooth mouthfeel, low bitterness, and finishes slightly sweet.

Mosaic hops feature complex but clean flavor characteristics and are known for their triple-use profile encompassing bittering, flavor and aroma. Simcoe hops are one of the most popular proprietary hops in the world and is known for its bitter and aromatic diversity.

Graciosa

Our beautiful and tropical Graciosa (5.3%) IPA has a light-medium body, slightly hazy, and dry-hopped with Citra and Chinook hops. Graciosa is a fruity, refreshing, and flavourful IPA with loads of tropical fruit notes.

The beer was named after a Spanish word for someone or something that is graceful, that moves in a smooth and elegant way that is attractive to watch. The illustration represents a humanized palm tree – a fun character, with a tropical touch that enhances the exotic aromas of the recipe.
