Brooklyn Brewery's Special Effects, e.g., in brief

IPA

This hoppy beer style often features bold citrus or pine notes and is a staple in craft breweries like Brooklyn’s. Think of the three-letter abbreviation for its name.

This clue refers to Brooklyn Brewery’s Special Effects, a popular non-alcoholic beer they produce. The phrase "in brief" signals that the answer is an abbreviation—here, IPA stands for India Pale Ale, the style of the beer. The "e.g." hints that Special Effects is just one example of this type, so the broader category (IPA) fits the answer.
