Very dry and assertively bitter.
A trim base, a hop-led finish — the classic setup for a hop-forward beer.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for eMCee
◎ Appearance
eMCee presents a pale golden hue with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent white head that leaves delicate lacing on the glass. The carbonation is lively and well-integrated, creating a vibrant, inviting visual character typical of a modern session IPA.
◌ Aroma
The nose opens with bright tropical citrus notes—fresh grapefruit and lime—layered beneath distinctive stone fruit character of ripe peach and mango. The signature Citra hop profile shines through with a clean, herbal edge that carries into the finish, contributing an erfrischend aromatic lift without any harsh green notes.
◐ Taste
The palate enters clean and approachable, with gentle tropical fruit flavors flowing across the mid-palate. A soft but clearly defined bitterness emerges in the center—restrained enough to maintain drinkability at 6% ABV, yet substantial enough to provide structure and balance. The citrus character persists throughout without overwhelming the delicate malt foundation.
◑ Finish
The finish is clean and relatively dry, with lingering citrus notes fading gracefully and the defining bitterness providing a pleasant, lasting closure. Carbonation helps lift the aftertaste toward brightness rather than heaviness.
Serve & Enjoy
How to get the most out of eMCee
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.
