Complot Session IPA

Tap to rate

Complot Session IPA carries Damm's Complot brand, which grew out of the brewery's hop-growing project in Prades near the Catalan coast, into a lighter strength. It is golden and slightly hazy, with aromatic hops and malt held in balance. Ripe fruit and mango open the aroma, followed by tropical citrus notes that keep it fresh. The body is light and brisk, resting on a slim malt base that lets the fruit-led hop character come forward.

◐ Taste

The palate enters light and crisp, with the fruit-driven hop character establishing itself cleanly across the mid-palate. Citrus notes build gently, balanced by a slim malt foundation that refuses to assert heaviness. The bitterness remains measured and integrated, never aggressive, allowing the tropical fruit and refreshing quality to define the drinking experience.

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.
