Modern IPA
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.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Modern IPA
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.
