Session Cold IPA
A generous dose of cryo hops brings aromas of tropical fruit, flowers and a hint of citrus, and the cool fermentation keeps the yeast profile clean so the hops take centre stage. It joins the light, drinkable character of a session beer with the dry, tight style of a cold IPA: crisp and surprisingly light at just 3.7%, yet with the hop kick you expect from an IPA.
