Sierra Nevada Electric Ray is a collaboration with Ballast Point Brewing, combining the flavor of an IPA with that of blonde lager.

As ever, San Diego’s Ballast Point looked to the sea for inspiration .

Its massive grapefruit and floral notes deliver a high-voltage hit of hop flavor. 

Electric Ray is one of twelve offerings coming this July.
