◌ Aroma

The nose leads with fresh, fruity hop character—citrus and stone fruit notes predominate, with hints of tropical fruit beneath. Underlying this is a clean, subtle malt backbone that grounds the aromatic profile without overwhelming the delicate hop expression. The overall impression is inviting and refreshing, with no harsh alcohol or sulphur notes.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and approachable, with immediate fruity and hoppy flavours that develop quickly across the palate. Mid-palate shows good balance between the gentle bitterness (60 IBU) and the underlying malt sweetness, creating a crisp, clean sensation. The finish is dry without harshness, leaving a lingering citrus and hop impression that invites the next sip.

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.
