Easy Peasy

Tap to rate

Citrus leads this summer IPA, brewed with tangerine and lemon and hopped with Pacific Northwest hops, at an easy-drinking 5.2% ABV. Deep Ellum built it for the warm months as a seasonal, and it returned for a limited time by popular demand. The flavor profile is listed as citrus, hoppy and sessionable, so the glass stays bright and the hops stay in front from first sip to last.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Easy Peasy

◎ Appearance

Light golden-amber hue with bright clarity and lively carbonation throughout. The white head forms quickly and maintains good adhesion, clinging to the glass in a fine lace pattern as the beer is consumed. The glass remains visually engaging and effervescent from pour to finish.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with fresh citrus notes of tangerine and lemon, punctuated by the resinous, herbal character of Pacific Northwest hops. There is minimal malt presence, allowing the bright hop aromatics and fruit character to dominate without any heavy grain or yeast contributions. The overall impression is clean and inviting, with a summery, refreshing quality.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with pronounced citrus flavors that mirror the aroma—tangerine and lemon zest define the initial taste. Mid-palate hoppiness brings a balanced bitterness (40 IBU) that sits comfortably between refreshing and assertive, never harsh. Light malt sweetness provides subtle backbone without weighing down the overall sessionable character.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste is crisp and lingering, with hoppy bitterness fading to a clean, dry conclusion. The carbonation contributes to the perception of length, leaving the palate refreshed rather than cloying.

Serve at 8–11°C

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.
