Siki

Tap to rate

Siki is an American-style IPA of moderate strength, brewed with English and German malts. The malt base keeps the body from being thin and adds delicate malt and honey notes. The hopping is intense, yet the brewing process holds the bitterness down. The beer is clear, with citrus, yellow fruit, a tropical touch and a soft herbal base.

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.
