◌ Aroma

Passion fruit dominates the nose, offering ripe, tropical stone-fruit character alongside a clean, herbal hop backbone. Subtle citrus notes emerge on closer inspection, with no apparent malt sweetness or yeast-driven fruitiness.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and balanced, with the passion fruit character translating cleanly to the palate. Mid-palate develops resinous, piney hop bitterness that remains poised rather than aggressive, supported by a dry, clean malt bed. The finish drives toward resin and herbal dryness without harsh edges.

Serve at 8–11°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.
