GROSS Algara

GROSS Algara is a 5.5% ABV NEIPA brewed in collaboration with Kintsugi Beer, the new brewpub born in Paris from the hands of Jeff, known for his work in brewery projects like Prizm and Whiplash.

The result is a fresh and aromatic craft beer, packed with tropical fruit and citrus, with an intense hop character and exceptional drinkability.
