◌ Aroma

The nose leads with citrus and tropical fruit notes—grapefruit and stone fruit—characteristic of the noble hops employed. Clean fermentation allows the bright, herbal hoppy character to shine without any yeast-driven esters, creating a focused and inviting aromatic profile.

◐ Taste

On the palate, tropical and citrus flavors dominate the entry and mid-palate, delivering the promised balance of fruit and brightness. Bittering sits at a moderate 50 IBU, providing structure and a gentle drying sensation without overwhelming the delicate hop-derived flavors. The malt backbone remains restrained, allowing the hops full expression.

Serve at 8–11°C

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.
