GROSS Manilita

Gross Manilita is a special edition NEIPA brewed to introduce Manilita, an innovative hop from Freestyle Hops renowned for its aromatic expressiveness, to Europe. This beer was conceived as a sensory exploration for lovers of juicy and modern profiles: on the nose, it unfolds notes of bubblegum, red grapefruit, and red berries, while on the palate, it offers a creamy, silky, and enveloping texture, with the juicy character so typical of the style. Its slightly hazy base and clean, fruity finish make it an irresistible IPA for those seeking hop innovation with its own identity.
