Goose Island Tropical Beer Hug, a powerful, American Double/Imperial IPA manufactured in Chicago by Goose Island Beer Co., provides a full-bodied tropical getaway each time you taste it. True to its name, this beer is full of fruity taste and well-balanced bitterness, thanks to its bright blend of hops, which comprises Nugget, Citra, Mosaic, Strata, and Dwarf hops.

At 9.9% alcohol by volume (ABV), it pours a hazy golden color. It instantly greets you with bold aromas of ripe mango, pineapple, and soft peach. On the palate, it opens with a smooth burst of tropical fruit, followed by bright citrus and a mellow wave of pine that rounds out the finish. The hop profile is expressive yet refined, making the beer feel flavorful but not overwhelming.

The flavor of Tropical Beer Hug is energetic yet well-balanced, resulting in a fresh and refreshing taste despite its strength. With a hint of roughness that allows the tropical notes to remain without becoming overly sweet or overpowering, the taste is smooth and enjoyable.

With its fruity taste that perfectly balances the spiciness, this IPA is ideal for pairing with tasty combinations, such as Thai curry or jerk chicken. Additionally, it complements delicious foods like cured meats, sharp cheddar, or even a platter of charcuterie by pulling out the layers of flavor in every bite.

Whether you’re soaking up the sun or kicking back after hours, Goose Island Tropical Beer Hug offers a big hop hug that’s bold, juicy, and unforgettable.
