Label Text Victory Brewing Brotherly Shove:

“PUSH THAT JAWN
Brotherly Love® throws on the alternate uniform this season.
An unapologetic nod to the play that everyone loves to hate.
Pushing the pile forward, this Hazy IPA comes off the line low and steady, blasting bright citrus aromas before driving straight into juicy tropical fruit notes. It’s not flashy. It’s not pretty. It’s automatic.”
