Drunken Sailor
Full-bodied and hop-aromatic: tropical fruit and citrus up front, intense but round. This West Coast IPA comes in at 6.4 %. The name plays on the old tale of English sailors shipping beer to the Indian colony, where plenty of hops and a high alcohol content kept it fit for the voyage. A fruity, rounded hop beer for anyone who likes their IPA with presence.

Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Drunken Sailor
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.
