Mutiny IPA

Tap to rate

The nose opens with pine and citrus hop aroma, floral at the edges, before a soft touch of caramel malt steps in as the backbone. At 70 IBU the bitterness stays approachable instead of making you wince. Capital's first India Pale Ale is hopped with Cascade, Simcoe, Warrior and Zythos and runs at 6.2 % ABV.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with clean hop bitterness and resinous pine that evolve smoothly into citrus flavors across the mid-palate. Caramel malt provides a gentle sweetness that tempers the 70 IBU bitterness, keeping the finish approachable rather than harsh, with a light tropical note rounding out the flavor profile.

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.
