Everyday IPA
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
AI-generated sensory profile for Everyday IPA
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.
