Beer Description

Freedom of ’78 is a medium bodied IPA with a wonderful, bright clarity and pleasing bronze hue.

The orignal recipe was developed through a collaboration with Half-Acre Brewing in Chicago. A nice medium bodied IPA with a wonderful bright clarity and pleasing bronze hue. The aroma is a unique fusion of citrus fruit combined with subtle pine qualities. The distinct characteristics of the guava nectar are impossible to miss as the sharp sweetness and slightly tart flavors snap across the palate. Comparable attributes of tangerine, nectarine, and even some faint honey flavors are detectable. The finish quickly turns to a bitterness expected of an IPA, that resonates and turns dry during prolonged tastings. Freedom of the body, freedom of the mind, this bitter nectar does it all.
