🌍 Sweden · Session IPA · One of 40 Session IPAs in hopIQ

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.

Tasting Notes

Pale golden hue with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent white head that leaves delicate lacing on the glass.

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.

Serve & Enjoy

How to get the most out of Everyday IPA

Serve at 7–10°C
Refrigerate, then rest 2 min

Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.

Tulip glass
Recommended for this style

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.

What is a Session IPA?

IPAs are hop-forward ales with 5.5–7.5% ABV and IBU 40–70+. Bold hop aroma — citrus, tropical, resinous — with firm bitterness and a dry, clean finish.

Finding a similar Session IPA
