ZZ Hop
ZZ Hop is a session-strength New England-style IPA brewed with Citra and Mosaic, and one of the best-known beers of the brewery. It was called Zero-Zero until 2022 and was renamed to avoid confusion with alcohol-free beers. Arbor describes it as naturally cloudy and very juicy, with soft hop notes on the nose led by grapefruit and citrus. Behind that sit mango and a little berry fruit. The body is light and smooth, the bitterness low, the finish fruity.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for ZZ Hop
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.
