View this email in your browser IPL + Dry-Hopped Session Saison release We've got not one, but TWO beers returning to the taproom this Thursday: IPL & Dry-Hopped Session Saison. Ardent's IPL is a dry-hopped India Pale Lager. This beer offers big aromatics of tropical fruits and citrus from the Mosaic & Citra dry hop and pours a golden straw color. The medium body leads into tropical flavors with slight malt sweetness and herbal bitterness. Finishes clean, crisp, and light. ● 4.6% ABV ● 25 IBU  Available on draft  4-packs of 12 oz. bottles to go Dry-Hopped Session Saison combines a dry saison base with a juicy flavor thanks to a generous dry hop addition of Chinook and Huell Melon hops. The saison yeast provides classic spicy notes and crisp finish, while the hops promote tropical, pineapple flavors and aroma in a sessionable, effervescent beer. ● 4.5% ABV ● 19 IBU  Available on draft  Crowler/growler fills to go Fourth Anniversary Block Party We’re so excited to celebrate our fourth anniversary with you, RVA!
