◌ Aroma

The nose leads with vibrant citrus and tropical fruit notes—lime, grapefruit, and subtle pineapple—characteristic of the Belgian hop selection. Light maltiness provides a clean, grainy foundation without any heavy or sweet undertones, allowing the hop aromatics to remain in focus.

◐ Taste

The palate is crisp and quenching, with an immediate burst of citrus and hop bitterness that feels balanced rather than aggressive at 40 IBU. The body remains light and dry throughout, with subtle tropical notes evolving in the mid-palate before the Edelhopfen bitterness frames the finish cleanly.

Serve at 7–10°C

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.
