Modern IPA

Tap to rate

A crisp, dry-hopped IPA built around the aroma of fresh US hops. The bitterness is clearly there, yet a couple of old brewhouse tricks make it come across softer on the palate than a typical IPA, even though the brewers admit to going a little overboard with the hops. The name is a nod to beer lovers of every age who like a modern, dry-hopped IPA.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a crisp hop bite that gradually builds into a balanced bitterness (65 IBU) that feels softer and more refined than expected. Mid-palate shows resinous, dry character with lingering citrus and subtle tropical undertones. The brewhouse technique pays off here—the pronounced hop load never overwhelms, instead settling into a smooth, integrated bitterness that invites another sip.

Serve at 8–11°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.
