Delorean

Tap to rate

Exotic fruit aromas swirl through this golden, hazy Session IPA, terribly fruity, light and slightly creamy, with a discreet bitterness. At only 4% ABV there is no need to slow down. Created in 2021 for the brewery's 20th anniversary, it nods to an early 2001 experiment with exotic fruit, and its name promises a hoppy trip through time.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Delorean

◎ Appearance

A radiant golden hue presents itself beneath a fine, persistent white head. The beer displays the characteristic haze typical of the style, with soft cloudiness from yeast in suspension. Carbonation is moderate and even, with gentle bubbles rising through the body.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by layered tropical and exotic fruit notes that leap from the glass—passion fruit, mango, and stone fruit aromatics intermingle with subtle citrus undertones. A restrained noble hop character provides backbone without overpowering the fruit-forward profile. The overall impression is clean and inviting, with no solvent or harsh edges.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a bright, fruity sweetness that quickly resolves into a light, slightly creamy mouthfeel. Tropical flavors persist through the mid-palate, supported by a delicate, well-integrated bitterness that sits at around 35 IBU. At only 4% ABV, the beer drinks with remarkable refreshment and approachability, never cloying or heavy.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and moderately short, allowing the fruit-forward character to fade gracefully without lingering astringency. A subtle hoppy dryness and citric echo remain on the palate.

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.
