'Opsession IPA
A session IPA at 4.0 %, pale gold with a white head. Fruit and pine from the hops come first on the nose, as intense as in a stronger IPA, over a light malt background. A crisp, biscuity malt base carries American citrus hops that come through rather dry; the body is medium, and the dry hopping keeps the hop character going into a refreshing citrus finish. Released in 2016, the brewery's twentieth year.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for 'Opsession IPA
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.
