Flavor Description
When you brew Frosty the Swole Man Light Session IPA, you’re crafting a beer that delivers big hop flavor without the weight. Designed for easy drinking and full-on hop expression, this extract kit balances a light malt backbone with a bold, resinous burst of American hop character. Thanks to a powerhouse blend of Cryo Citra®, Cryo Mosaic®, and Cryo Simcoe® hops, every sip hits you with layers of citrus zest, pine needles, and subtle tropical fruit—all while keeping things refreshingly crisp and under 100 calories per glass. The addition of Carapils malt gives this light session IPA a surprisingly sturdy body and excellent head retention, letting the vibrant hop aroma linger just a little longer. Whether you’re looking to keep it light without sacrificing flavor or just want a clean, crushable IPA with plenty of character, Frosty the Swole Man is your go-to brew for hoppy satisfaction in a lean, sessionable package.
