Read from the label art by Hop Grail. Fields checked against the approved label. How we get this data

From the label

“In an era of soft edges, Riptide is a return to technical discipline. Bone dry, dangerously crisp, built on hardwood grain. We didn't hide the bitterness — we engineered it. Citro, Simcoe, and Cascade deliver an intense strike of dark resin and bright citrus. A touch of Munich and crystal malt rounds out the attack. No fluff. No compromises. Don't fight the pub. Drink it fresh. Drink it now.”
