◌ Aroma

The nose leads with vibrant citrus notes—primarily grapefruit and orange zest—layered with distinct stone fruit character of ripe peach and subtle mango. Beneath these hop-driven aromatics lies a gentle, clean malt base that frames the composition without dominating, while the overall impression remains fresh and inviting.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and approachable, with immediate citrus and tropical fruit flavors that develop into peach sweetness across the mid-palate. The bitterness is restrained at 40 IBU, providing structure and balance rather than aggressive hop burn, while the soft, pillowy body carries the flavors with minimal weight.

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.
