◌ Aroma

The nose leads with ripe peach and tropical stone fruit from Galaxy and Moutere hops, layered with subtle citrus notes and a hint of white flowers. Beneath the vibrant hop character sits a soft, grainy maltiness from the oat and wheat base—clean and unobtrusive, never doughy or heavy. The overall aromatic profile is inviting and fruit-forward without any harsh resinous edges.

Tropical and peachy flavors dominate the mid-palate, with gentle citrus undertones and a clean, dry backbone. The finish shows moderate bitterness balanced by residual fruit sweetness, creating a harmonious and drinkable profile at 6.5% ABV.

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.
