There’s only one way to explain the soon-to-be opened Twin City Brewing’s latest offering.

“It’s called the Swedish Gymnast and the reason it’s called the Swedish Gymnast is because it’s a light blonde with a lot of hops.”
The beer is a single-hopped session ale.
“It’s lively and juicy with a fresh dry-hopped character. There’s only one kind of hops in the entire beer.”
Colyn wanted to showcase the citra hops in the beer. Citra hops is a fairly new variety with smooth floral and citrus aroma and flavour, according to Craft Beer Academy.
“We wanted to showcase the lemony, piney, melon-pineapple flavour which really comes out like this fruit punch kind of flavour,” Colyn said.
