◌ Aroma

The nose leads with vibrant citrus, dominated by fresh orange zest and candied orange notes. A subtle piney undertone emerges beneath the citrus, providing herbaceous balance without overwhelming the fruit-forward character. The overall aromatic profile is clean and inviting, with minimal malt presence.

◐ Taste

The palate entry is juicy and smooth, with orange flavors taking immediate center stage alongside a supporting citrus complexity. Mid-palate offers a soft, fluffy body that carries the fruit character without weight; the 40 IBUs deliver a gentle pine-tinged bitterness that frames rather than dominates. The overall drinking experience is remarkably easy and drinkable, with each element in measured proportion.

◑ Finish

The finish is crisp and refreshing, with lingering citrus notes fading to a subtle herbal dryness. The low alcohol footprint allows the hoppy character to close cleanly without any warming or sticky aftertaste.

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.
