With an ABV of 8.0% and an IBU of 70, Flume delivers a robust hop-forward profile that promises an invigorating experience with every sip. Expect an enticing bouquet of tropical fruit aromas to lead the way, a hallmark of this beer's juicy nature. The interplay of hops contributes to a luscious fusion of mango and passionfruit flavors, balanced with subtle notes of citrus.
