Raised By Wolves

Tap to rate

Raised By Wolves reaches for the newer generation of North American hops, and Ekuanot delivers exactly what modern brewers seek: a fruit-forward punch that sits at the heart of this IPA. Paired with wild yeast character, the beer opens into layers of mango, melon, and papaya—intensely fruity without apology. At seven percent, it drinks with enough body to carry those stone and tropical fruit notes through to a dry finish, making it equally at home in the afternoon or as a palate-opener before a long evening. Serve cool to let the aromatic complexity breathe.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and approachable, with the stone and tropical fruit character from the aroma translating directly to the palate. Mid-palate maintains good body and weight for the alcohol level, delivering sustained mango and melon with a balanced, building bitterness that never turns harsh. The finish is decisively dry, leaving a clean, lingering hop resin that invites the next sip.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste is long and dry, with residual hop resins and a light mineral quality persisting on the palate. Bitterness fades gracefully without leaving any astringency.

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.
