Querida IPA

Tap to rate

Floral and fruity from classic hops, then dry and bitter yet smooth, with medium body and moderate carbonation. Centennial, Simcoe and Bravo lead the hopping, the bitterness is clean, the fermentation neutral and the beer gluten-free. The brewery's blurb is a love letter to the beer, and querida means dear.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with pronounced floral and fruity notes from Centennial, Simcoe, and Bravo hops, offering hints of citrus and subtle tropical character. A neutral fermentation profile allows the hop aromatics to dominate cleanly without competing yeast-derived esters or phenols.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with soft fruity and floral hop character, transitioning to a dry, clean bitterness that remains smooth and well-integrated rather than harsh. Medium body supports the 45 IBU without feeling thin, and the gluten-free formulation does not compromise mouthfeel or overall balance.

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.
