Frosty the Swole Man Light Session IPA – Extract

Description

When you brew your Frosty the Swole Man Light Session IPA you get a crisp, light-bodied beer that highlights bold American hop character. Pale ale and pilsen dry malt extracts create a clean, dry backbone while Carapils malt adds body and supports head retention. Cryo Citra hops deliver citrus zest and resin, Cryo Mosaic contributes tropical fruit, and Cryo Simcoe dry hopped for three days adds pine and aroma.

The Safale US-05 yeast ferments clean so the hop layers stay prominent in your finished beer.

Your Frosty the Swole Man Light Session IPA kit never sits on a shelf. Your grains are crushed to order, your ingredients are packed fresh, and you don't pay for a flashy box. It's all about giving you the freshest ingredients to make your best beer.
