Snapshot

Tap to rate

Snapshot is a session IPA, first released in 2025 and now part of the core range. Citra, Mosaic and Simcoe are used in the dry hop and set the tone: mango and peach up front, followed by a streak of citrus zest. Oats and wheat in the grist give a rounded, smooth body for the strength, which keeps the beer balanced between juicy fruit and a light, refreshing bitterness. The finish is short and zesty.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Snapshot

◎ Appearance

◌ Aroma

The nose is immediately dominated by stone fruit character—ripe mango and peach notes leap forward from the Citra and Mosaic hops. A streak of citrus zest follows, bringing grapefruit rind and bergamot. The backdrop is clean and bright, with no prominent malt or yeast contribution, allowing the hop aromatics to remain in focus.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and juicy, with the stone fruit character translating pleasantly to the palate. The grist of oats and wheat provides a rounded, soft body despite the beer's modest strength, creating balance between the fruit-forward mid-palate and a light, crisp bitterness. The Simcoe and citrus notes weave through cleanly without harshness or astringency.

Serve at 7–10°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.
