At Old Nation, we like interesting questions. For a long time an interesting question to us has been, how can we make a lower ABV New England Style IPA with the same aromatic impact and soft mouthfeel as our higher ABV offerings of the same style? It’s a harder question than you might think, but after two years of experimenting, Low Orbit is our answer.
Using state-of-the-art yeast, timelessly perfected grain, hops from the Pacific Northwest, and traditional brewing techniques, we’ve made a full flavor, full-bodied NEIPA with only 4.5% ABV.
