Abra Cadabra

Tap to rate

A session-strength IPA that pours golden and opaque under a creamy, persistent white head. Pineapple, tropical fruit and citrus lead the nose, with pine needles sitting behind them. The first sip brings a light note of bread and crackers, after which tropical fruit and citrus peel take turns. The beer is top-fermented, unfiltered and unpasteurised.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Abra Cadabra

◎ Appearance

A golden, opaque pour beneath a creamy white head with strong persistence and defined lacing. The unfiltered character delivers cloudiness from yeast in suspension, while moderate carbonation creates a fine bubble structure that sustains the head throughout the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with ripe pineapple and tropical stone fruit, layered with bright citrus peel notes. Pine needles emerge in the background, providing a resinous herbaceous frame that anchors the fruit-forward character typical of the session IPA style.

◐ Taste

Entry presents a gentle malt sweetness of bread and crackers, quickly transitioning to alternating waves of tropical fruit and citrus peel across the palate. The 40 IBU bitterness integrates cleanly without harshness, maintaining balance and drinkability at the lower alcohol level.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and refreshing, with lingering citrus and pine notes that fade steadily. The low alcohol weight and unforced bitterness create an easy, approachable aftertaste that invites another sip.

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.
