Inspired by escapades near and far, large and small, Day Tripper Pale Ale is your companion in everyday adventure. Nearly a pound of hops give this West Coast-style pale ale a heady, dank, and citrus-laced aroma supported by a complex and subtly sweet malt backbone. Take it along to the lake, the trail, or even the backyard, and you’ll be well on your way to your next good day.
