Swish is one of the most well-known and sought-after beers from Bissell Brothers, representing their purest expression of the modern New England IPA approach. This Double IPA is unfiltered, intensely hazy, and saturated with hop aroma thanks to a hop blend that typically includes Citra, Mosaic, Simcoe, and Galaxy.

The aroma bursts with notes of mango, pineapple, peach, and grapefruit, supported by a subtle resinous undertone that adds depth. The flavor is intensely fruity and juicy, with a rounded bitterness that follows the aroma yet never becomes aggressive.

The texture is soft and “pillow-like”, a result of a carefully balanced water profile and the use of wheat and oats in the grain bill. The alcohol content (around 8%) is masterfully hidden, making the beer surprisingly drinkable despite its aromatic richness and full flavor.

The finish is dry, clean, and fruit-forward, leaving lingering impressions of peach and citrus on the palate. Swish is regarded as one of the key beers that helped establish Bissell Brothers as a leading brewery of the new generation, focused on aromatic, juicy IPA styles.
