Everyday IPA

Tap to rate

Oppigårds' 2014 answer to what a session IPA should be — pronounced hop character at low alcohol. Amarillo, Citra, Simcoe, and Columbus late-added in the whirlpool and fermenter give citrus, fruit, and grassy hop notes on a bright, dry pilsner-malt base. The IPA for a workday afternoon.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus notes—orange zest and grapefruit—layered with tropical fruit undertones from the Citra and Simcoe hops. A grassy, herbal quality complements the fruit-forward character, while subtle floral notes add complexity. The Pilsner malt base provides a clean, neutral backdrop without intrusive grain or yeast character.

◐ Taste

Entry is bright and dry, with pronounced hop bitterness that resolves into a lingering citrus and stone-fruit flavor profile. The Pilsner malt core delivers a light, crisp body with subtle breadiness that balances the assertive hop character without heaviness. Mid-palate sustains good hop definition—both flavor and a measured, lingering bitterness—while maintaining refreshing drinkability.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and dry, with hop bitterness fading into a gentle citrus aftertaste. The beer leaves the palate refreshed rather than coated, making it an ideal afternoon sipper.

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.
