Obsession
A session-strength IPA built to carry the hop character of a much bigger beer. Golden pale malt gives a clean, slim base, and Simcoe and Mosaic put pine and grapefruit up front, with passionfruit and a squeeze of lime behind them. The body stays light and the carbonation brisk, so the fruit reads bright and sharp rather than sweet. Bitterness is moderate and resinous and dries the finish out quickly.

Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Obsession
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.
