◌ Aroma

The nose leads with vibrant citrus notes—tangerine and orange from the Sabro hop dominate the foreground. Behind this sits a layered tropical fruit character from the Cryo Pop blend, suggesting papaya and passionfruit. The base carries subtle pale malt sweetness that grounds the aromatic profile without obscuring the hop-driven expression.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and refreshing, with bright citrus flavors mirroring the aroma. The mid-palate develops tropical stone fruit and subtle floral notes, while the modest 40 IBU bitterness provides structure without harshness. The finish remains light and dry, allowing the hop character to linger without fatigue.

The aftertaste is clean and brief, fading to a soft hop residue and a whisper of malt sweetness. At 4.2%, the beer drinks well and does not leave a cloying or heavy impression.

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.
