Soft J

6.8% alcohol. Brewed, in Georgia, by Red Hare.

"Soft J IPA starts off with a super fruity nose, which is matched with a hazy pour. It hits your tongue with blasts of orange and tangerine, while a delicate bitterness carries through to the finish.  This soft, creamy, y-uicy IPA is proof that words, beer, anything can start with a Soft J…and by way, no fruit was harmed in the making of this beer."

    Trimtab Blood Orange Margarita

    5% alcohol. 7 IBU. Brewed, in Alabama, by Trimtab Brewing.

    "We took our Gose base and added Himalayan pink sea salt for the perfect amount of salinity, then overflowed the tank with citrusy tangerine, pungent blood orange puree, and bright lime peel.
    The finishing mark of this beer is a game changer for warmer weather. Notes of blood orange popsicles, fresh pressed OJ and happy hour margaritas, all accompany the just right amount of acidity and salinity to make this a truly thirst quenching Summer staple."
