◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and refreshing, with citrus and light fruit flavors establishing themselves immediately on the palate. Moderate hop bitterness (35 IBU) arrives mid-palate in balance with delicate malt sweetness, creating a lean but flavorful body. The finish drives toward dryness without harshness.

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.
