Migration Brewing, which has spent the last 13 years establishing itself as an award-winning brewery of high-quality craft beverages, has launched a low-alcohol IPA that is designed to offer the unique flavor profile of pale ales with an accessible degree of buzz that makes it ideal as an easy-drinking beverage.
The 'Hello Again IPA' is a beer that comes in at 4.8 percent ABV, which is lower than many IPAs deliver. Taking its cue from West Coast-style beers, this particular IPA makes use of a trio of hops ranging from Mosaic to Azacca and Idaho 7, making for a flavor profile that emphasizes aromas of tangerine and mango. Elsewhere, this beer utilizes a grain bill that revolves around flaked oats, 2 Row and Vienna Malts, resulting a crisply refreshing beer.
Designated as a replacement for Migration Brewing's 'Infinite Riff' IPA, this low-alcohol IPA is all set to transition from being a pub favorite to a canned classic.
