Creemore Springs Session IPA

◎ Appearance

The beer presents a hazy copper hue, characteristic of the style, with a full and persistent head that leaves distinct lacing on the glass. The cloudiness stems from the yeast and hop matter in suspension, lending a soft, inviting appearance. Carbonation is moderate and even throughout, contributing to a creamy mouthfeel.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with ripe tropical fruit—mango and pineapple dominate, supported by bright orange peel and a subtle thread of pine. Beneath the hoppy profile sits a caramel malt sweetness that grounds the composition, preventing the aromatics from becoming one-dimensional. This balance between fruit-forward hops and soft malt backbone sets the stage for the palate.

◐ Taste

The entry is fruity and approachable, with berry and melon notes unfolding across the mid-palate atop a substantial malt foundation that adds body unusual for the session format. The bitterness is measured and refined—present enough to frame the hops without becoming sharp or aggressive. Sweetness and hop character coexist in equilibrium, allowing both to be perceived distinctly.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and quenching, with the bitterness fading to a dry, refreshing conclusion. Residual fruit notes linger briefly without cloying, leaving the palate poised for the next sip.

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.
