Fierce IPA
The brewery's namesake pours a deep, bright gold. Nectarine and orange lead the aroma, with a caramel note from cara and crystal malt underneath. On the palate it is zesty and bittersweet, with citrus and stone fruit set against a firm hop bitterness, before a light, crisp finish. The brewery calls it a modern IPA and describes it as fruity and balanced; at 5.0% it sits at the lower end of the style.

Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Fierce 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.
