◌ Aroma

The nose is immediately dominated by tropical fruit aromatics, with ripe pineapple leading the charge alongside bright citrus notes of grapefruit and lemon. Noble hops provide a clean, resinous undertone that frames rather than overpowers the fruity character, while a subtle malt sweetness adds gentle depth without heaviness.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with juicy tropical fruit that carries the pineapple theme established on the nose, immediately offset by a firm but measured hop bitterness that never becomes harsh. A robust malt backbone provides structure and subtle sweetness, allowing the tropical and citrus flavors to remain prominent throughout the mid-palate while maintaining excellent drinkability despite the 8.5% alcohol.

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.
