Tranquility

Tap to rate

Soft and pillowy, full bodied and full flavoured: fruity and juicy, with a gentle bitterness. Amarillo gives the aroma, Centennial a citrussy edge, Cascade and Mosaic back them up. The brewery pictures it as a gossamer cloud, and at 3.8 % ABV it is a New England-style IPA kept in session territory, the same strength as its stablemate Serenity. Brewed with a gluten-reducing enzyme.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Tranquility

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with a light, translucent body that catches the light with gentle clarity. The head forms quickly and maintains a delicate, fine-textured collar with good Schaumkleiden down the glass. Carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, creating a soft, pillowy visual presence that mirrors the beer's described character.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with Amarillo's characteristic citrus-forward character, bright and inviting without aggression. Centennial contributes a crisp, lemony edge that plays across the top notes, while Cascade and Mosaic add layers of stone fruit and subtle floral complexity beneath. The overall impression is airy and ethereal, with no harsh alcohol notes despite the measured ABV.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and welcoming, with a full-bodied malt backbone that belies the session strength. Mid-palate reveals juicy, fruity character from the hop blend—orange, peach, and subtle berry notes—balanced against a gentle bitterness that emerges gradually rather than striking immediately. The gentle 40 IBU allows the hop flavours to shine without drying or overpowering the rounded malt foundation.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and moderately dry, with the bitterness lingering softly without harsh edges. A fruity aftertaste persists briefly, allowing the drinker to return easily to the next sip in true session style.

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.

About Session IPA

Style guide · what to expect · how to find alternatives

What is a Session IPA?

IPAs are hop-forward ales with 5.5–7.5% ABV and IBU 40–70+. Bold hop aroma — citrus, tropical, resinous — with firm bitterness and a dry, clean finish.

Finding a similar Session IPA

hopIQ matches by flavor profile — not just style label. A beer with the same fruity, juicy, full-bodied character as Tranquility will score highly even if brewed in a different country or under a different sub-style name.
