This is the 1st of 4 labels we have from Brothers Craft Brewing. It is one of 136 american pale ale labels approved in October 2019. Its label was approved 18 days after it was submitted.
From the brewery“Hoptimization's striking aroma is the prelude to a crisp American-style IPA. This beer forgoes the now common unrestrained bitterness, utilizing perfect amounts of malt to balance the bitter bite.”
