Now pouring in Freeport and Portland: Ebenezer's Cold IPA!
A "Cold IPA" is a Lager that uses traditional IPA hops in the brewing process. This hybrid beer style is characterized by its clear pale, straw-like color in appearance & its crisp, "not too hoppy" finish.
Holiday beers are usually full-bodied & dark in color, but this 6.2-percenter is pretty much the exact opposite of that.
Cheers & Season's Gritty's!
