True North Ale Company Launches KESTREL American IPA

Ipswich, MA – True North Ale Company, in collaboration with Mass Audubon, has released KESTREL, a limited-edition American IPA. The beer is aggressively hopped with Mosaic, Simcoe, Idaho 7, and Cascade, lending flavors of bright orange citrus, tropical fruit, and pine. The American Kestrel, our smallest falcon, is native to Massachusetts.

KESTREL American IPA will be available for a limited time in beer stores throughout Massachusetts, on tap in select restaurants, and at the True North Ales Taproom. Let’s all share a toast to the American Kestrel!
