Serenity

Tap to rate

Hazy and juicy: Galaxy brings mango, peach and passion fruit, Cascade adds green tea, fresh grass and a light herbal spice, and the whole thing stays balanced at only 3.8 % ABV. All that hoppy goodness comes from just two hops, Galaxy and Cascade. It is vegan and brewed with a gluten-reducing enzyme, one of the beers in the Brewers' Emporium core range.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Serenity

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with a distinctly hazy, turbid character. The head forms readily and clings to the glass in fine, delicate lacing. Bright carbonation is evident, creating a soft, pillowy foam that recedes gradually.

◐ Taste

Entry is juicy and soft, with tropical stone fruit rolling across the palate. Cascade's herbal and tea-like qualities build mid-palate, creating a balanced bitterness that never becomes aggressive. The low ABV keeps the body light and the finish clean, allowing hop flavor to dominate without astringency.

◑ Finish

Short to medium finish, dry and gently herbal, fading to a whisper of grass and green tea. The aftertaste remains refreshing and free of residual sweetness.

Serve at 7–10°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.
