Counterculture from BKS Artisan Ales is the brewery’s flagship New England IPA, clocking in at 7% ABV, and perfectly reflecting its core philosophy: technical precision, bold aromatics, and exceptional drinkability. Heavily hopped with a blend of Citra, Mosaic, Galaxy, and Simcoe, this beer bursts with tropical and citrus notes - mango, pineapple, peach, mandarin, and hints of white grape dominate the aromatic profile.

The mouthfeel is soft and silky, with low bitterness and a juicy, rounded character. Visually, it’s intensely hazy and pale yellow, with a thick, fruit-forward body and a lasting white head.

On the palate, it leans into fruity sweetness, but remains well-balanced, avoiding the cloying quality that can weigh down hazy IPAs. Counterculture is a standout for fans of modern, fruit-forward IPAs that deliver both aromatic intensity and clean technical execution.
