Tap to rate

A golden IPA whose hop aroma brings tropical fruit and touches of grapefruit. The taste runs through fruit, tropical notes and citrus, with a bitterness behind it. Wheat malt, barley malt and oat flakes make up the grain bill, and it is served at 9 °C. Brewed in Amsterdam-Sloten by the social brewery's team.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with juicy tropical and citrus notes that carry through the mid-palate with balanced fruitiness and a gentle wheat-derived smoothness. A measured bitterness builds steadily, providing structure without dominating, and finishes with crisp, clean acidity.

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.
