Dutch Bargain's signature IPA splits the difference between West Coast and East Coast: a light body at 5.8% ABV, fresh touches of citrus and aromas of tropical fruit and mandarin, a juicy mouthfeel and a pleasant bitterness at 48 IBU. Brewed in Groede, Zeeland, and made for drinking among the dunes with the sea in view.

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with excellent clarity and bright transparency. The head forms quickly and maintains a fine, persistent collar with delicate lacing on the glass. Carbonation is crisp and visible, creating a lively bead that sustains throughout.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with bright citrus notes—mandarin and fresh lemon zest—followed by pronounced tropical fruit aromas suggesting passion fruit and stone fruit. Noble hops provide a clean, herbal backdrop without aggressive resinousness, creating an inviting and balanced profile.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and juicy, with a light mouthfeel that belies the hop character. Mid-palate develops warm citrus and orange notes alongside subtle tropical undertones, while a measured bitterness builds without overwhelming. The balance favors drinkability while maintaining hop presence.

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.
