◐ Taste

Entry displays punchy grapefruit and sweet tangerine, flowing into a mid-palate rich with resinous, dank hop character and lingering pineapple. The bitterness is firm but balanced—60 IBU provides structure without overwhelming the fruit-driven character—finishing with a clean, dry sensation.

Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.

Drink fresh. Session IPAs are brewed to be consumed young — the hops are at their best now.
