5 Florida IPA’s You Need to Try

1. Happy Colors by Calusa Brewing

This is an Imperial IPA with flavors as bright as it’s can. Happy Colors Double IPA has been double dry-hopped with Motueka and Mosaic hops and combined with oats and wheat, resulting in a pillowy, citrusy juice bomb. You will have to visit their taproom to get your hands on these cans or do some beer trading. Either way, it will be worth your time. 👌
