Small Axe
Small Axe is a session IPA that carries the juicy, hazy character of a New England-style beer at a lower strength. Mosaic and Chinook supply bright tropical fruit, pine, citrus and soft stone fruit, set on a smooth body with a refreshing finish. The brewery positions it as an approachable beer for repeated pours, and it is one of the long-standing entries in the core range.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Small Axe
Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.
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.
