Accessibly Hopped Hazy IPAs

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The 'Yard Yacht' IPA Features a Moderate ABV For Easy Crushability

— September 26, 2023 — Lifestyle
Confluence Brewing Company, a Des Moines, Iowa-based microbrewery, has gone ahead with the launch of a deliciously tempting new hazy IPA that is high in flavor but moderate in terms of ABV (alcohol-by-volume), making it eminently sessionable and enjoyable regardless of the situation or indeed the time of year.

The 'Yard Yacht' session hazy IPA' is absolutely exploding with bold aromas and a colorful flavor profile that is clearly spiked with berries, citrus and fruity tropicality. At the same time, this hazy IPA features an ABV of only 4.5 percent ABV for easy crushability.

Positioned by Confluence Brewing as a beer that's well and truly brewed for weekdays and regular evenings, 'Yard Yachting' will appeal to seasoned IPA enthusiasts as well as generalized beer lovers looking for the occasional infusion of hoppy goodness into their lives.
