Rye River Jigsaw DDH IPL 5.0% ABV, 440 ml can Bradleys
In your glass you see a beautiful pale gold colour with millions of little bubbles racing towards the soft white top. “Piecing together what we love about lager and IPA”, say Rye River, very happy with this collaboration with Yakima Chief Hops.

Brimming with the promise of juicy goodness
Our blend in hand, which is organic, is dry and aromatic with a cloudy golden hue, brimming with the promise of juicy goodness.
