Thrilla in Brazilla is gold in color with a tight white head of foam. The fruity-ester aroma is high to very high. Hop aroma is further characterized by high amounts of citrus with a slightly resinous character in the background. The aroma follows through to the taste with citrusy characters dancing on the palate, including the presence of fresh oranges. Thrilla is a medium bodied beer with medium high hop bitterness. As always, this beer is balanced.

We originally brewed this American IPA specifically for the biggest soccer tournament in the world between the Kings of Soccer in Brazil during the summer of 2014. Thrilla in Brazilla was released on June 12,  the day of match 1 between Brazil and Croatia.  The beer featured at pubs hosting a watching party for the opener and remained in the market until July 12, the day of the final.  The response to Thrilla was immense so we re-released it during continental tournaments in 20215 and 2015.  Since then, Thrilla regularly returns but most often in connection with a world wide soccer event.
