Wingman
Mellow tropical fruit, piney notes and a sharp citrus aroma, with a biscuit thread underneath. Six hops build it – Ahtanum, Chinook, Citra, HBC 692, Mosaic and Simcoe – and at 4.3% it holds a steady boozing altitude, a nod to the aviation theme that runs through the whole Wingman family. Headliner beer, Gold and Scotland Country Winner in IPA Session at the 2026 World Beer Awards.

Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Wingman
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.

What is a Session IPA?
IPAs are hop-forward ales with 5.5–7.5% ABV and IBU 40–70+. Bold hop aroma — citrus, tropical, resinous — with firm bitterness and a dry, clean finish.
Finding a similar Session IPA
hopIQ matches by flavor profile — not just style label. A beer with the same tropical, piney, citrusy character as Wingman will score highly even if brewed in a different country or under a different sub-style name.
