River Sesh IPA is crisp and refreshing with a deep golden color. Light in body but with a satisfying little kick. Simcoe and Amarillo hops give this brew a well-balanced bitterness and hoppy aroma.

Scotch Ale

7% ABV · 20 IBU

Our Scotch Ale is a malty, less bitter full-bodied beer. The rich color and toasty sweetness come from the caramelization of the roasted malt.
