30 Minute Light IPA
Tropical, pineapple, coconut, mango and citrus in the aroma, then a fruity flavor with a balanced hop profile, light-bodied and crisp. Hopped continually for 30 minutes, this 4.0 % Light IPA is the little sibling of the 60, 90 and 120 Minute IPAs in Dogfish Head's continual-hopping family, pale gold with a bright white head.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for 30 Minute Light IPA
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.

What is a Session IPA?
IPAs are hop-forward ales with 5.5–7.5% ABV and IBU 40–70+. Bold hop aroma — citrus, tropical, resinous — with firm bitterness and a dry, clean finish.
Finding a similar Session IPA
hopIQ matches by flavor profile — not just style label. A beer with the same tropical, fruity, citrusy character as 30 Minute Light IPA will score highly even if brewed in a different country or under a different sub-style name.
