Lazy SIPA
A 'cold' session IPA: fermented with a lager yeast at the cool end of ale temperatures, which keeps the profile clean, while the hopping follows an IPA. The grist is pale ale malt only, so Cashmere, Amarillo and Simcoe come to the fore with orange, sweet lemon, pine, peach and melon. Crisp and light, with a dry, fairly bitter finish. Gluten free.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Lazy SIPA
Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.
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.
